Welcome to Peter Tickler's Website

 

"Amidst a sea of garbage your books stand out as well-written, convincing, and different" - so says Michael Harrison, lecturer on Oxford Murder! STOP PRESS: Peter is delighted to launching his new crime novel White Lies, Deadly Lies on Tuesday 30 October (6.30-8.30 p.m.). The launch will take place at George & Delila's ice-cream cafe, 104 Cowley Road, Oxford OX4 1JE. This was the venue for several scenes in one of his earlier books, and it also happens to sell really nice ice-creams. Do come along, meet Peter and have fun. Special deals on books and ice-cream if you say 'Hello' to Peter first!

	"The story entices, jolts and disorientates on almost every page as the reader is caught up in an increasingly frenzied Danse Macabre" - Dot Marshall-Gent, Mystery People "		"It is a gripping tale with many twists and filled with believable characters who are victims of circumstance. Mullen is a likeable but flawed hero, while the climax and denouement are handled with Tickler's usual subtlety" - Oxford United Matchday Programme
	"It's so well rooted in its [Oxford] location that I couldn't quite believe the site of some of the most critical acton didn't actually exist" - Daily Information		"Peter's novel is a fantastic read. Its refreshing to read an Oxford book which tells a gripping story from the town point of view" - Maggie Hartford, Oxford Times
	" ... a whodunit in the best traditions of the genre ... You will drive yourself to distraction trying to work out the perpetrator" - Oxford United Matchday Programme		Publication: 31 October 2018
