F.H. Petford
Agent: Kate Hordern
KHLA are delighted to welcome F.H. Petford to the list. The first Alma Timperley mystery, A GHOST HUNTER’S GUIDE TO SOLVING A MURDER, was published by Hodder & Stoughton on 2 October 2025.
F.H. Petford ran his own creative agency and was involved in writing projects for corporate clients and the London theatre world, and now lives a quietly pagan life in Somerset. Both the Alma Timperley mysteries and three crime novels set in the Oxfordshire village of Great Tew at the end of the Great War are inspired by his own experiences of the paranormal.
Praise for A GHOST HUNTER’S GUIDE TO SOLVING A MURDER:
“Cleverly entertaining.” Greg Mosse, author of the Maisie Cooper Mysteries
“A well-plotted murder mystery.” Fiona Leitch, author of the Cornish Murder Mysteries
“A thoroughly enjoyable ripping yarn.” T.E. Kinsey, author of the Lady Hardcastle mysteries
