David Carter

David Carter lives on the south coast of England and has been writing for longer than he would care to admit.

He had written almost forty books now and still writes every day. 

They include the popular murder/mystery crime cases featuring his detective, Inspector Walter Darriteau. Most of the action is based in Chester, Merseyside, Liverpool, Shropshire and North Wales, though not all. 

The first book in the series is "The Murder Diaries - Seven Times Over" and they are all currently in Kindle Unlimited (KU). All are standalone stories, though it is probably best to read them in the order they were written. 

Things change, circumstances evolve, people move on, and new characters appear, David’s aim is to write and release two books every year, though three would be nice! Sometimes he does, other times, not. 

Outside of reading and writing, he is a keen gardener, and remains a sport nut as much as he ever was, though these days (weep - weep!) it's more to do with watching than partaking.
