Behind Closed Doors: An eye-opening mystery in a sensational place

The Beatrice Stubbs Series, #1

British crime fiction where characters become people and place is part of the story.

Never underestimate a beautiful woman. You might not live to regret it.

Suicide – the act of taking one's own life.
Homicide – the act of taking someone else's.

An unethical banker suffocates. A diamond dealer slits his wrists. A media magnate freezes in the snow. A disgraced CEO inhales exhaust fumes. Four unpopular businessmen, four apparent suicides. Until Interpol find the same DNA at each death.

Beatrice Stubbs, on her first real case since 'the incident', arrives in Switzerland to lead the investigation. But there's more to Zurich than chocolate and charm.

Potential suspects are everywhere, her Swiss counterpart is hostile and the secretive world of international finance seems beyond the law. Battling impossible odds by day and her own demons at night, Beatrice has never felt so alone.

She isn't. Someone's watching.

Someone else who believes in justice.
The poetic kind.

Beatrice Stubbs murder mysteries are contemporary crime novels with a timeless feel.  The focus is on human interest and strong personalities.

Each book works as a stand-alone novel.

If you enjoy Kate Atkinson, Patricia Highsmith and Sue Grafton, you'll love Behind Closed Doors.

"Wow. Wow, wow, wow. This is a GREAT book." - Sheila Bugler, author of Hunting Shadows

"Behind Closed Doors crackles with human interest, intrigue and atmosphere. Beatrice and her team go all out to see justice is done. And author JJ Marsh does more than justice to the intelligent heroine who leads this exciting and absorbing chase." – Libris Reviews

"I hate giving five star reviews because they should go only to the very best books - five stars should mean 'This is a superlative read and there are very few like it'. Well, this is a superlative read and there are very few like it. 5*." - The Bagster, Amazon reviewer
