Mersey Murder Mysteries Collection

Chapter 5

A Mersey Killing is a work of fiction, and as such, the main characters and many of the places mentioned with the work that follows are the creations of the author"s mind and are not intended to be confused with any real persons, living or dead. It has been necessary, however, in order to create a work that is credible and believable to make certain references to actual people, places, and events in order to invoke the time and era of the book"s setting, i.e. the city of Liverpool in the early nineteen-sixties. Where this has happened, it has been done with the greatest reverence and respect for those mentioned in passing, none of whom are actual participants in the fictional work, and that the reader will soon realise are there merely to help create the ambience of a very special time in the world of music, and in the wonderful vibrant city that gave birth to the phenomenon that came to be known as "The Swinging Sixties."

A Mersey KillingPlease note that this book is written in British, (UK) English, and here in the UK, many spellings differ from those in the USA. Also, many of the characters in the book speak the local Liverpudlian dialect, which means I have amended the spellings and grammatical use of certain words to indicate the phonetic pronunciation of the words affected.
