M.H. Eccleston has had a fairly meandering career – starting out as a radio presenter for the BBC, then staying at the Beeb as a journalist and producer for six years. After that, it’s a bit of a blur – he spent a couple of decades, at least, freelancing as a foreign correspondent, TV presenter, sketch writer, voice-over artist and film critic. For the last few years, he’s been a full-time screenwriter and now novelist. He lives in Ealing with his family, which is ruled by a mischievous Frenchie called George.
'I romped through The Trust... A cosy debut set in a house brimming with secrets... An enchanting murder mystery' -- Janice Hallett, author of The Appeal 'A feisty heroine, an ingenious plot and a cast of quirky characters that soon feel like your best friends, make The Trust a cozy crime to savour' -- Merryn Allingham 'Intelligent and gently humorous, with a suitably eccentric cast of characters' -- M S Morris 'It should be read in one sitting either by a lazy river or a roaring pub fire. Difficult to put down' -- Bill Goodall
