About this ebook

Detective Sergeant John Billings is an honest and hard working man who has risen swiftly through the ranks to become one of Scotland Yard's youngest detectives. But in his private life he struggles with the demons of loneliness and morphine addiction. In these three full length mysteries he will lead you on a thrilling journey into the darkest recesses of Victorian society. Included in this bundle are: The Ornamental Hermit, Something Sinister and The Campbell Curse.

★★★★★ 'I'm a lover of Victorian mysteries when they're well researched and well written. The Ornamental Hermit meets both those requirements and then some.'

★★★★★ 'The prose draws a foreboding atmosphere. Each character has a unique voice and the author captures them all well.'

★★★★★ 'The main character, John Billings, is extremely sad and extremely likable. I'll be so looking forward to more books about him.'

★★★★★ ' If you love historicals, mystery, character growth, and just an overall intriguing story then this series is definitely worth reading.'

★★★★★ 'Bosman meshes the mystery with the personal character study intricately. Neither ever dominates the page. Each scene follows logically from the previous. The reader doesn't wonder what's happening just offstage. An excellent book'

★★★★★ 'There are so many factors that will keep you on your toes trying to figure out what each new page will bring'

★★★★★ 'The protagonist has just the right amount of personal demons to spice up the tale, plus the author gets the late Victorian era details just right.'

Olivier Bosman

Born to Dutch parents and raised in Colombia and England, I am a rootless wanderer with itchy feet. I've spent the last few years living and working in The Netherlands, Czech Republic, Sudan and Bulgaria, but I have every confidence that I will now finally be able to settle down among the olive groves of Andalucia.
