Meet Ryan Stepney

With only five days to go before the cover and blurb for Book 3 are officially announced, I thought I’d continue my introductions to the main characters in The Fish and Chip Shop Detectives novels.

Having already introduced to Maggie Tyson;let’s say hello to her sidekick: Ryan Stepney.

The Fish and Chip Shop Detectives by Jenny KaneThe Fish and Chip Shop Detectives and the Campervan Murder

 

Let’s meet Ryan Stepney.

Ryan is 22 years old.

He has recently left Birmingham University with a degree in Sociology.

Despite his best efforts, he can’t get a job.

A Brummy born and bred, Ryan has lived in Birmingham his whole life, either with his parents or in university accommodation.

He has a very gentle Birmingham accent.

His parents make no pretence about their indifference to him – he was a late, unplanned, child, and he feels unwanted and a disappointment.

His university girlfriend, Bea, has invited Ryan to move to Mousehole, Cornwall, to live with her in a flat her parents bought her.

On arrival in Mousehole, Ryan discovers Bea has other plans – plans that, luckily – lead him to Maggie Tyson.

Ryan inherited a love of  detective novels and TV shows from his much loved gran.

Usually dressed in black jeans, black T-shirt and a black hoodie, Ryan is just over 6ft, a slim, gangly young man who is uncomfortable in his own skin.

A bit of a geek, he’s shy and lacks confidence.

When he is offered a part-time job and bedsit accommodation at Robbin’s Fish and Chip Shop, Ryan jumps at the chance.

Finally, after meeting Maggie, he feels he has the chance to do something with his life that his parents might just be proud of – while making his own dreams come true.

Penzance

If you’d like to read Ryan and Maggie’s first adventures, which take you from Penzance to Mousehole, Falmouth to Land’s End, and everywhere in between, then both Fish and Chip Detective novels are available as paperbacks, audiobooks and ebooks.  They can be read in order, or as standalone novels.

Book 1 – The Fish and Chip Shop Detectives: A brand-new and utterly addictive cozy crime British mystery (The Fish and Chip Shop Detective Agency Book 1) eBook : Kane, Jenny: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store

Book 2 – The Fish and Chip Shop Detectives and the Campervan Murder: An utterly charming and addictive cozy crime British mystery (The Fish and Chip Shop Detective Agency Book 2) eBook : Kane, Jenny: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store 

Book 3 will be announced on 30th June.

Happy reading everyone,

As you’ll know if you follow this blog, I have recently signed a contract to write another three stories – and I’m loving getting to grips with the plotlines I’ve got bubbling around in my head. The more stories I write, the more I’m enjoying developing the characters of Maggie and Ryan – increasing their confidence, and throwing them into steadily more demanding situations – both professional and personal.

This evening I’m celebrating the launch of this novel at Black Cat Books in Launceston, Cornwall – complete with a cone of chips for everyone who attends – I can’t wait!! (There are very few tickets left – but if you want to come along, contact the shop here: emily@blackcatbooksltd.co.uk -07505139361

Where is Mr Robbins? Is his disappearance linked to the murder? As the fish and chip shop detectives face a boatload of questions, can they catch the killer before someone winds up dead?

The Fish and Chip Shop Detectives
Forty-eight-year-old Maggie is a lover of puzzles. When she’s not working at Robbins’ Fish and Chip Shop, she can be found on her sofa, nursing a cup of tea and solving the latest mystery thrown at the detectives in Death in Paradise, Midsomer Murders and more. Maggie’s found a firm friendship with Ryan, a newcomer to Mousehole. When he’s not busy sleuthing, Ryan enjoys nursing a pint at The Mariner pub. Together, Maggie and Ryan serve the best fish and chips – and solve crimes as The Fish and Chip Shop Detectives.

The Setting
Mousehole is a picturesque fishing village in Cornwall, known for its scenic harbour, winding streets, and tiny sandy beach. It’s also home to Robbins’ Fish and Chip Shop, the only chippy in town. Tourists and locals alike enjoy a battered cod whilst admiring the calm waterfront. And if you want a side of gossip with your food, make sure you get to the chip shop at exactly 6 o’clock, where you’ll find local pensioner Harry, who is always up for a natter…
