B.M. ALLSOPP

B.M. Allsopp writes the Fiji Islands Mysteries, the acclaimed police procedural series shortlisted for the Impress Prize for New Writers (UK) and the Davitt Awards (Australia).

​

Each stand-alone tropical murder mystery features detectives DI Joe Horseman, a washed-up rugby hero, and DS Susie Singh, a driven woman defying the odds. Together, they fight crimes that threaten their fragile paradise.

​

A huge fan of international crime fiction, B.M. Allsopp aims to give readers the same deep-dive experience that she relishes in books by Donna Leon (Brunetti series set in Venice), Ann Cleeves (Shetland series) and Alexander McCall Smith (No 1 Ladies Detective Agency series set in Botswana).

​

Through her immersive whodunits, Allsopp shares her passion for the South Pacific islands where she lived for 14 years, including four in Fiji. She is now settled in Sydney with her husband and tabby cat.​

"What really hooked me was the setting. The heat and humidity steam off the page... With a light touch Allsopp reveals the clash of modern and traditional Fijian values."
