A dead voyeur, a dog with a trophy, and a tangled web of secrets, lies, and scandals lie at the heart of a mystery in the sleepy hamlet of Goat Parva.
The Goat Parva Murders is the first novel in a British detective fiction series following Detective Inspector Colin Knowles as he unravels small town scandals and mysteries alike in the sleepy English countryside around Goat Parva.
It’s just a typical Tuesday night in Goat Parva, a typical English country village where the local pastimes include more than just bird watching and dog walking. In this sleepy hamlet, the stalkers in the rhododendrons are busy watching the exhibitionists in the windows. It’s a typical Wednesday until Bingo the retriever trots out with a pair of shoes belonging to the village’s most notorious voyeur, Clem Shapiro.
Enter Detective Inspector Colin Knowles, a detective tasked with unravelling a tangled yarn of affairs, long-held village secrets, bitter rivalries, and a growing mountain of suspects. Can he find Clem’s killer before they strike again?
This is a must-read for fans of the dry wit of British police procedurals, humourous whodunits, and small town murder mysteries.

Just a typical Tuesday night in the English country hamlet of Goat Parva. The stalkers in the rhododendrons are busy watching the exhibitionists in the windows. Nothing unusual. Until that is when Bingo the retriever returns with a pair of shoes that were last seen adorning the feet of well known voyeur Clem Shapiro. Steadily the secret lives, peccadilloes and illicit affairs of the inhabitants of this one time idyll of English Country Life all begin to unravel under the dogged investigations of Detective Inspector Colin Knowles. What seemed like a fairly simple case is rapidly deteriorating under a growing mountain of suspects, witnesses and bodies. Scratch the surface of this sleepy hamlet and it seems everybody has a motive to want somebody else dead. And D.I Knowles has only just begun to scratch. The Goat Parva Murders is the first in the Inspector Knowles Mysteries and introduces the reader to a cast of eccentric characters that could have escaped right off the pages of a Tom Sharpe novel in search of mayhem, mischief and murder.
