HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE
I’m Maureen Carter creator of Bev Morriss one of the feistiest cops in contemporary crime fiction. If you’ve not yet discovered the series, I think you’re in for a treat. As one critic wrote: Maureen Carter is a writer of real class...If there was any justice in this world, she'd be as famous as Ian Rankin.
Bev made her debut five years ago in WORKING GIRLS. The lippy but loveable detective sergeant is still fighting crime on the streets of Birmingham. Award-winning author, Mark Billingham wrote: Crime writing and crime fighting: Maureen Carter and her creation Bev Morriss are the Second City's finest!
So far, Bev's featured in: DEAD OLD, BABY LOVE, HARD TIME and BAD PRESS. This July sees publication of the sixth in the series: BLOOD MONEY. Before then look out for her in CRIMINAL TENDENCIES, a short story collection that'll be launched in the spring. The anthology's published by Crème de la Crime and includes some of the best known names in crime fiction. Find out more on the news/events page.
Hit the links to discover more about the Bev books, my back story and a little of what 2009 holds. First, highlights of the journey so far...
HARD TIME named as one of 2007’s Best Paperback Originals by Deadly Pleasures magazine where it was described as, 'British hard-boiled crime at its best'. The book's now available on audio from Oakhill publishing.

Still on television, one critic wrote: Some enterprising TV producer should pick up HARD TIME without delay as it's got the lot - fantastic characters, a strong setting and water-tight plotting. The book is Carter's best yet, but go back and read the others first to get the most out of this outstanding series.
