J.R. Ellis:
I have just discovered your books and am delighted with them. They remind me a lot of the BBC (I think!, not certain) series Midsomer Murders--at least the early ones with John Nettles. I actually bought a few of the series on DVD. So...my question is: was/has that been an influence on your writing?
J.R. Ellis
Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle and the "Jonathan Creek" series on BBC Tv. Also writers of the locked mystery genre of crime fiction: John Dixon Carr, Clayton Rawson, Edward Hoch, Ellery Queen

Hello John, I have read all of the books that you have written and thoroughly enjoyed every one. I have found your books to be an entertaining breath of fresh air. I particularly like your evocative descriptions of the Yorkshire countryside, excellent plots and the solid characters; I look forward to your next book. Whilst I am waiting, do you have any locked-room books that you would particularly recommend?

I am a huge fan of your writing. I've read all but the last book. I'm holding out because I don't want to finish the series until there's a new one. So my question is are you putting out other books? Every book I've read so far have been exceptional and hard to put down. I sure hope there's more to come. Thank you for books. I truly enjoy them.
