Alan Moody has always loved a good murder mystery. For him, it’s not just about solving the puzzle of whodunit, but also exploring the emotional depth and tangled relationships that lie beneath the surface.

He lives with his wife, their mad dog, Tinker and Silver the cat, in a semi-rural village in Kent, where the quiet surroundings offer the perfect setting for plotting fictional crimes. By day, Alan is a teacher; by night (and early mornings), he escapes into the world of mystery writing.
