A little about the author – I live on the English Riviera in Devon and I write historical mysteries.

By the way, you may not have guessed, but May Quillink is my nom de plume. Well, there has to be a bit of mystique about the persona of a mystery writer, now doesn’t there?

The May Quillink Crime Mystery Collection spans a number of different eras – from the Victorian period up to the 1970s.

My latest series is set in the 1930’s. Harry Axeton is a master sleuth who is used to crossing swords with the cleverest, the most devious and the most successful villains in England.

For the time being the Harry Axeton Investigates Series will be published on my website for free. This is my small way of helping all avid mystery readers during the cost of living crisis. So do keep coming back for these free stories.

The first Harry Axeton story is already available on the Stories page – so go there now and start reading it in your own time. The second free Harry Axeton story will be published in December this year by way of an early Christmas present from me. And a further free story has already been plotted with publication expected sometime around the middle of 2027.

To access the Harry Axeton and other free stories just click on the button at the bottom of this page to get to the Stories page and then click on the button at the bottom of that page.

Plotting novella length crime mysteries has always given me a huge amount of pleasure. So I do hope that you enjoy reading my Crime Mystery Collection.
