There were eleven more books in the series - the latest, Never Say Die, was published in 2017 - and they are now being developed for TV. Once the cat-and-mouse game gets under way in earnest, subtle transformations begin to take place on Beowulf Boritt’s funhouse set. All of the narrative is in the form of a play script but the author also lets us in on things that the more observant audience member may see on set.An original thriller, Magpie Murders was published last year and got some of the best reviews I've had. He goes on to say , "Richard Baron's production, wittily designed by Ken Harrison, combines efficient slasher thrills 'n' chills with outbreaks of pitch-black humour.
