Q&A with Mel Sherratt

How do The Estate Series and The DS Allie Shenton Trilogy differ?
DS Allie Shenton novels are police procedurals, so they are fast-paced and thrilling, with a murder to solve in each book, so plenty to keep readers thinking and working out. The Estate Series are a lot more relaxed - colourful characters and gritty subject matter, covering many social issues.

What genre does the series fit into?
Iâ€™d like readers to go through emotional journeys with the characters. I like to write about hidden crimes - things that often happen behind closed doors. The storylines are gritty but most have happy endings, laced with hope and encouragement. So Iâ€™m going to go with my own genre of Grit-Lit â€“ where drama meets crime.

Where is The Estate set?
Iâ€™ve based the series in the fictional city of Stockleigh but it's anywhere youâ€™ll find dysfunctional families such as the Gallagherâ€™s (Shameless). Itâ€™s anywhere the teachers try their best to educate the kids in schools similar to Waterloo Road. Itâ€™s not far from Happy Valley. At times itâ€™s as sad as Eastenders: more often itâ€™s reminiscent of an episode from The Jeremy Kyle Show.

WRITTEN IN THE SCARS, book 4, is now available to download.
