Murder from the Newsdesk (2016) is a collection of mystery short stories featuring Colin Crampton, the reporter-detective from Peter Bartram’s Headline Hero series. The stories are set in and around the Brighton Evening Chronicle newsroom and offer bite-sized mysteries that capture the same 1960s atmosphere as the novels.
The collection is a good entry point for readers who want to sample Bartram’s mystery writing and the Crampton character without starting a full novel. Each story delivers a self-contained puzzle with the humor and period detail that define the series.
