Roger Silverwood

Roger Silverwood is an English author who is well-known for his crime stories. One of his most famous works is the book series featuring the fictional Detective Inspector Michael Angel. Silverwood is a Yorkshire native and his stories often reflect his familiarity with the area, as seen in the setting of the town of Bromersley in South Yorkshire where Angel resides with his wife, Mary.

Detective Inspector Michael Angel is a unique character in the crime fiction genre. Unlike many detectives in literature, Angel is not portrayed as a heavy drinker, drug user, or a womanizer. Instead, he is depicted as an honest man who is dedicated to his work and his wife. However, he is often hard up and in debt, which adds an interesting layer to his character. Angel is known for his determination and stubbornness, and he has a reputation for always solving his cases, a trait that has earned him the nickname of being like the Mounties.

Silverwood's writing style is engaging and keeps readers on the edge of their seats. His books are available on Kindle, and he has written over twenty novels featuring Detective Inspector Michael Angel. Some of his most popular titles include "The Snuffbox Murders," "The Man Who Couldn't Lose," "The Curious Mind of Inspector Angel," "Find the Lady," "The Wigmaker," "The Scent of Death," "The Murder List," "The Snakes and Ladders Murder," "Murder in Bare Feet," and his most recent Angel book, "Murder on Time." Silverwood has also recently released a standalone novel called "The Guilty Daughter." Fans of crime fiction will undoubtedly enjoy reading about Detective Inspector Michael Angel and the other intriguing characters created by Roger Silverwood.
