The Nor'easter

Having completed nearly 40,000 words of the next book in the series, The Elusive MacGuffin, I realised that I had set the book chronologically too far from the end of The Pink Herring. I had made changes in the characters lives that needed more explanation and time to bed in. So, I temporarily stopped work on the The Elusive MacGuffin and started The Nor'easter, which develops the backstories at a steadier pace. 

This will be the next Shaun Young novel, picking up the story a few months after the dramatic ending of The Pink Herring. Helena Crowthorne eases into her promoted role as Detective Inspector, Steven Forrester takes up the acting DCS role while the formal process to replace DSC Spencer is orchestrated by Mary Hart. Shaun outsources the renovation of his canal boat to Frank Barker and his boat building business set in the Martham marina.

And they all get involved in a new mystery surrounding the unexplained death at sea of an investigative journalist who had made many enemies, professionally and personally, with her ruthless approach to work and life...
