Kempston Hardwick

Make sure your sense of humour is firing on all cylinders — and preferably set to ‘dry’.

The Kempston Hardwick series is a tongue-in-cheek pastiche of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, sending up all the expected tropes.

Follow Kempston Hardwick — a man born a hundred years too late — as he tries to negotiate the modern world, all whilst solving mysterious murders.

But that’s not his hardest task. First of all, he has to keep Ellis Flint in check.
