By A M Devenish

Welcome to the launch of Anais Devenish’s third eBook in The Hartman Chronicles.

“I think 'The Hartman Chronicles: Hidden' is pretty awesome.” Manoj Nair.

“The Hartman Chronicles are intriguing short stories that draw on a variety of sources. These are all tied together to keep you hooked on reading to find out what happens next.” K. D. Henry.

“The dialogue supports the story’s characterisation and the fast-paced investigation. The consequences echo through the rest of the characters’ lives.” E. A. Smith.

“This entertaining story shows a chance meeting and the historical details–all interesting–allow us to encounter the scene at a leisurely pace.” Ffion Murphy.

“The writing is clean and professional. Hartman is a likeable main character, and the title has that nostalgia of an old classic mystery story.” K. A. McDiarmid.

• A man is robbed of a jacket, containing his wallet, on the way to work. As Hartman pieces the events together he finds the man has lost more than just his jacket. To find the thief he uses his trusty binoculars and uncovers a secret. Is the man described by witnesses the real thief? Hartman realises he is missing Ambrielle more than he thought while he is settling into his new home, and an engagement is on the cards. A uniquely Australian story set in North Perth and the metropolitan area, at the height of change, showing that relationships between immigrants and locals were also good. Hartman, a detective, lives in early twentieth century Guildford. He has is work cut out for him and lives in a world unlike the normal every day lives of other people going about their business.

• This story fits into the Genres of Crime, Mystery and Romance ... It is easy to read. The series is written for research and the fun of exploring different writing techniques. It is different, exciting and ground-breaking because it is a uniquely Australian. Similar books are the Canadian series of the Murdoch Mysteries first written by Maureen Jennings and then Michelle Ricci and Mir Bahmanyar, and Sherlock Holmes created by Arthur Conan Doyle is also similar. Both of these series are set in the early 20th century, like the Mystery on the S. S. Zephyr. There are in addition Agatha Christie’s crime novels and short stories falling into the same category.
