HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE
I’m Maureen Carter creator of one of the feistiest detectives in contemporary crime fiction. If you’ve not yet discovered the Bev Morriss crime series – I think you’re in for a treat. As one critic wrote... 'many writers would sell their first born to have the ability to create such a distinctive voice in a main character'.
The sassy detective sergeant made her debut four years ago in WORKING GIRLS. Lippy but loveable, Bev’s been fighting crime on the streets of Birmingham ever since. This summer sees publication of the fifth title, BAD PRESS.
It’s been – and still is – an exciting journey for Bev – and me. Some of the highlights are below, then follow the links to find out more about the books, my back story and what 2008 holds.
LATEST NEWS...
HARD TIME – the fourth in the series – available on audio from Oakhill publishing this spring. Having worked extensively in the media, I’m longing to hear this.
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'.
Hugely flattered to make Sharon Wheeler’s list of ‘six writers you damn well should have heard of!'. Check out Sharon’s comments on: http://www.heydeadguy.typepad.com/heydeadguy/2007/11/six-writers-you.html
As a former BBC journalist, producer and presenter, it was fun – if not a tad weird – to be back in a television studio. Maybe that’s because I was answering – not asking – the questions. Check out my interview with Legal TV’s Raychel Harvey Jones.

Still on TV, one critic wrote this: 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.
