Ben and his investigative partner, Sophie Briggs, are open for business. Sophie is an all-action ex-MI5 employee. Ben is thoroughly normal were it not for his ability to tune-in to people's conversations and thoughts - an ability made all the more remarkable given he lost his hearing at the age of 8.
They are soon employed by Olivia Havishem to investigate "goings-on" at the empty Cricklewood Mansion - Mrs. Havishem is concerned about squatters or worse. The Cricklewood Mansion proves to be at the centre of something worse, much worse.
Benjamin Grey and Sophie Briggs get drawn into the dark events surrounding the property, while trying to get their new business up and running.
Ben's gift gives them an edge but at what cost - as he struggles to reconcile the potential to save lives with proximity to evil it places him in.
The Cricklewood Mansion is the first in the Benjamin Grey series of crime fiction mysteries. Emotional suspense tinged with humour. Grab your popcorn and buckle up
