Tall Shadows, Dark Secrets, is set in the fictional town of Covinport, Southshire, a county in the south of England.

Eve Sanderson, had reached a crossroads in her career. Faced with several options of how to progress, a series of sinister events lead to a whole new adventure for her.

Having spent the morning researching in the local records office, followed by lunch with her cousin, author, Raymond Wheels, the pair witness a disturbance by the river where an argument ensues and violence occurs between two male strangers. Eve offers her assistance to the well-dressed man, Peter Tytherley. He is adamant he does not want Police involvement but Eve gives him her business card in the event he changes his mind.
Peter Tytherley is met by his chauffeur and leaves Eve to say her goodbyes to her cousin before retrieving her car from the records office car park and going home before the falling snow gets any worse.
Shortly afterwards Eve becomes unwell and is assisted by a dashing passer-by, Tom Cransley, who looks as if he has just walked off of a 1940's Hollywood film set. Cransley drives her home to Lavender Cottage, the home she shares with her aunt.

Several days later Eve receives a letter from Peter Tytherley inviting her to his London home for the weekend as thanks for her assistance in Covinport, as well as a business proposition.

There follows a series of events and mysterious goings on, including several murders and unexplained happenings, which Eve cannot avoid, getting caught up in.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

This is the first in the Eve Sanderson Mystery Series. Genealogy enthusiast, Eve Sanderson, has worked as a police civilian for a number of years in various posts. She distrusts most people except for her close relatives and does not have many close friends. She enjoys using her powers of investigation and deduction to research her family tree and on occasions  uses those traits to try to solve mysteries and murders. Eve is a divorcee and has not had a man in her life for about ten years. In this book she comes across two men who she becomes romatically involved with.
I first started writing this book in 1999 after a visit to Cyprus and put it away for about ten years before I began re-writing and editing. In the 1970's I was posted to Hong Kong with the army and although I did not serve in Cyprus I had friends who did. After completing the book I decided that there should be a series.

C.E. Parkinson was born in the Isle of Wight, England. She is a keen family historian and has an avid interest in old Hollywood films. She has been researching her own family history for nearly thirty years and has traced her line back to the Middle Ages.

She currently lives in the countryside and enjoys walking.

I have swum in the South China Sea, paddled on the shores of Dubai and marvelled at the breathtaking architecture of St Petersberg but I am still in awe of the county of my birth.

For information all the Eve Sanderson Mystery books should be read in order or they will not make much sense if read alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Endless twists and turns.

A thoroughly enjoyable, fast moving story. I actually took a break from decorating the stairs because I was intrigued to learn the outcome. Interesting characters and endless twists and turns. In one or two places words are in the wrong order but even that has not stopped me leaving a well deserved five star rating. Highly recommended.
