"Littlethumb Sneezed triumphs as both a fast-moving mystery and literary character study. Memphis writes with effortless dexterity and a lighthearted tone, imbuing the story with a subtlety that keeps the story both swift and fascinating. Add a devastating turn of fate as the penultimate twist, and Memphis hooks in the reader as the book barrels toward a tough but satisfying conclusion. A wonderful, entertaining novel with a deep understanding of what motivates humans to do what they do, for a thoroughly original work of literary fiction." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★
That title alone made me laugh. Can't wait to dive into this one!
Splendid book for fans of off-the-wall humor.

In the Silence M.R. Mackenzie
Anna Scavolini hasn’t set foot in Glasgow for ten years – and she’s not short of reasons…
On her first night back in town, what should have been the start of a relaxing Christmas getaway takes a decidedly macabre turn when she stumbles upon an old flame, Andrew Foley, bleeding to death on the snow-clad slopes of Kelvingrove Park.
Who killed Foley in such a brutal manner – and why? If the police have any leads, they’re keeping them under wraps. Convinced that Foley was deliberately targeted rather than the victim of a random attack, Anna begins her own investigation, and in so doing unearths a trail of long-buried secrets, leading back to a crime committed over a decade ago.
A crime so unspeakable its perpetrators are prepared to take their silence to the grave.

M. R Mackenzie is a talented writer. Can't wait for more work from this author.
Anna hasn't been to Glasgow for ten years, and on her first time back she stumbles on an old boyfriend bleeding to death. Heartbroken, Anna decides to investigate his death and unearths a trail of secrets that goes back a decade. The crime is so horrific that anyone who tries to solve the mystery will be in a great deal of danger. A fantastic fast paced caper that kept me turning the pages throughout. Highly recommended.
This engrossing, suspense-filled mystery kept me reading nonstop, not only for the twisting, fast-paced story but also for the unique dialogue and fascinating milieu of contemporary Scotland. A real page-turner. Highly recommended.
