Peter Boland originally trained as an architect before switching to a career in advertising, where he wrote copy for everything from cruise lines to zombie video games. After growing tired of agency life, he turned to fiction writing and published his debut novel, The Girl by the Thames, in 2016.
Boland writes in two very different modes. His John Savage Action Thriller series features a former SAS operative drawn into violent conspiracies, while The Charity Shop Detective Agency takes a much lighter approach with three charity shop volunteers who stumble into murder investigations between cups of tea and cake. The cozy mystery series has been compared to Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club and has earned Boland a loyal readership among fans of British cozy crime. He was longlisted for the CWA Debut Dagger Award in 2021.
