Cream Turns Sour: A Darkly Comic British Crime Novel (The Milkman Files Book 1)

A British thriller with dark humour where the milk is fresh, the humour is twisted, and the bodies are piling up.

The milk gets delivered. The bodies get buried. And nobody suspects the nice young man with the bottles.

Tommy Cowper is Brindlewick's milkman. Reliable. Polite. Invisible in the way service people always are. He knows which customers take semi-skimmed, who complains about the cream separating, and which elderly women live alone with doors that don't quite lock properly.

The old women on his route trust him completely. They invite him in for tea. Ask him to move furniture. Tell him where they keep their spare keys.

They shouldn't.

Tommy has urges. Dark ones. The kind that started when his mother abandoned him in a Sainsbury's toilet and Uncle Reg taught him that feelings are just weather—and weather passes. Now he collects old ladies' glasses and feeds hedgehogs and tries not to think too much about why he's never been touched.

If you like your killers weird and your humour darker, welcome to Brindlewick.
