'Mason packs more into 200 pages than many writers do at twice the length' Sunday Times
In the first months of 2020 there was a spate of murders of Black sex workers in northern cities. One of them was Ella Bailey, last seen talking to a punter in an alley in Sheffield city centre, and although no trace of her was ever found, the punter, Michael Godley, soon confessed to all three murders.
Five years later, as another sex worker is murdered in the same district, the bag Ella had been carrying with her reappears, hanging on the door handles of a café, and a local vagrant claims to have seen Ella sitting on a bench in a churchyard near the site of the murder. South Yorkshire Police call in the Finder.
So begins a search that takes him back to the strange days of the pandemic, to talk to those who knew Ella best, such as her wayward girlfriend 'Loz', abusive boyfriend Caine Poynton-Smith and respectable foster-parents still struggling to come to terms with Ella's life. How did their intelligent, strong-willed daughter - bright student and national schoolgirl athletics champion - end up in that alley?
As fear grips the city, our Finder must court danger to discover the truth.©2025 Simon Mason

Kritikerstimmen
The Finder Mysteries are everything great crime fiction aspires to be: human, intricate and hugely entertaining. The Woman Who Laughed kept me guessing, to the last page, and kept me thinking long after that. Simon Mason is a master storyteller whose books should be on every serious reader's wishlist. (Sarah Hilary)
Mason brings to life Sheffield's red-light district, while Finder's quest awakens sleeping dogs with devastating consequences
Simon Mason's Finder mysteries are well-written, elegantly-structured and unputdownable, bringing shades of Simenon's Maigret to contemporary rain soaked Britain
Simon Mason packs more into 200 pages than many writers do at twice the length. Kudos.
[Mason] has struck gold with his laconic, just-the-facts Finder mysteries, about a freelance investigator brought in by police to track missing people
[T]ranslates the ethos of Georges Simenon's Maigret into an English setting: concise, richly characterised, impeccably plotted (Barry Forshaw (The Best of Summer Crime, Financial Times))
Crime fans are hooked on Mason's tight and gripping novellas
Dark, exquisite and utterly absorbing, The Finder Mysteries are a rare and special thing
Mason packs more into 200 pages than many writers do at twice the length
Puzzling, literary, concise and utterly compelling
British procedural with local flavour and dry humour. Brings to mind classic noir, but rooted in the here and now
At once searching, believable, short, well-written, and provided with a Maigret-like protagonist who is used by Mason to offer a wise humanity in another brilliant novel.
