I'm Solomon Carter, author of the gripping DI Hogarth detective series and the Roberts and Bradley mysteries.

I was born in Southend-on-sea, Essex and I lived there for most of my life. In 2008 I started work at a local foodbank where I was part of a great team helping to feed people in need. Driven by a lifelong hunger to write, in 2015 I turned my hand to writing full-time, and In 2016 I moved to North Cornwall with my family. Cornwall is very beautiful, but I still visit Southend whenever I can because I love the place and I enjoy visiting my old stomping grounds. Southend still remains the focus of most of my stories.

As part of my work, I give away a lot of free books. If you would like to receive some of these along with any of the other exclusives I offer, then you are invited to join my Readers' Group at SolomonCarter dot net. I won't ever spam you - I'll just send you the occasional email with news on the latest books and forthcoming freebies.

I enjoy hearing from readers and try to respond to every message I get. If I don't reply to you for any reason, it'll be down to an oversight. Please just re-send your message or comment and I will soon get back to you.

My writing plans for 2024

Hogarth, Hogarth and more Hogarth

and hopefully, something new...

I look forward to hearing from you.

Happy reading!

All the very best,

Solomon :)

5.0 out of 5 stars New PI Mystery Series - Bang On!
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2014

When Detective Inspector Gary Rowntree hires Private Investigator, Dan Bradley to find his missing brother, Dan figures it will be a fast and easy, open and closed case.

Dan and his partner, Eva Roberts visit the missing man’s house. Within minutes Eva knows the case is going to be trouble. In addition to outright evasion and lies Eva finds unopened mail on the floor that tells a completely different story. This is only the beginning.

As the story unfolds we get to find out more about Dan and Eva, their troubled on again, off again relationship and their business partnership. They work great together as a team; as a couple?

The settings an characters are gritty and real, and the plot takes us on an unexpected journey into a world of sex and corruption.

This is a fabulous introduction to a new author, Solomon Carter and to what is sure to become a favorite and ongoing PI series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Should be three and a half stars.

Make no bones about it, this is a darn good read. And like many Kindle owners I have read a lot of poorly edited books. Normally, it is just an inconvenience and not a real issue. In this book between the poor editing and the differences in how Americans speak versus how the British speak, it became an even bigger problem. I definitely will read another book by this author, I just really hope he finally has a good editor. It read very much like the editor inserted the revision, without deleting what she/he needed to take out. Many times entire words were obviously missing and others duplicated.
I think you will like the story, but be prepared to be a little frustrated with the editing issues. And if "american" english is your first language, you may have to use your dictionary a time or two to figure what them blokes are saying.

I thought that the book was okay, It was a bit confusing at times because of the poor editing. There were misspelled words or words that were completely left out. I did like the last few chapters and the plot twist. I am glad that the book was a free read because if I had paid for it I would have been disappointed. I don't think I would recommend this to anyone. Solomon needs to get a new proof reader.

Out with a Bang caught my attention from page one and never let it go.
The story of Eva Roberts and Dan Bradley was a fun read. They have been partners for eight years, live together but aren't married and are private investigators. When a police acquaintance asks Dan to search for his missing brother the fun begins.
There is a closeness between Eva and Dan but also a divide between them. Neither could live without each other but they sometimes want to try. When the clues lead these two to a sex party with swingers trust is at stake.
I’m not a spoiler so I’ll stop there. I read this in one sitting on a Sunday night. It was light and it was fun. The pages turned themselves at times and I couldn't wait to find out what happened at the end.
I will be reading more of Solomon Carter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Read - Kinda Kinky....
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2014

I guess I would give it a 5-Star. The book was very entertaining - good plot, likeable characters and strong ending - filled with "poetic justice" and a modern day YouTube twist. It was kinda kinky and the further the story went, the kinkier it got. Nevertheless fun read. As another reviewer said: the author and editor do murder the king's English, his grammar and the queen's spelling. Overlook that - no big deal. This book continues to another book. However, this one is complete in and of itself.

New author, new places, and beginning of a new series. This was the beginning of THE LONG TIME DYING series. A man he despises asks for help, to find his brother. He can't because he is a cop, even though his brother has been gone 6 days. They start ,meeting the wife, one can tell and see the lack of money and that dad hasn't been home. Then work, 6 days he's been gone, he hasn't worked for them in months. A cliff hanger and one wants to get into the next book.

I haven't finished reading the book yet but, just like all the previous books in this series, I love it. Eva and Dan are truly believable in their roles and the rest of the characters see to always fit the story perfectly. I love the names that Dan always hangs on the bad men and women because they match the people so well. When Mr. Carter does this, he reminds me of Charles Dickens (one of my favorite writers). I've truly enjoyed the Long Time Dying series. Thank you Solomon Carter.

Out With A Bang Review

I read this book in two sittings. It’s an economically and wittily written thriller with interesting, if slightly unsettling subject matter, but the real drive behind it, and the indicator that this series will endure, is the central Roberts/ Bradley pairing. Whatever the case, their pursuit of it, their determination to take it apart and lay all the pieces out in the Sun, is so single-minded, so relentless, it seems there is nothing they will not do. They hurl themselves at danger. Their default preservation setting is non-existent. If the solution to a case was at the foot of Niagara Falls, they would be googling the number for dial-a-barrel. You really do want to take them to one side and say, if you carry on like this, you’re going to hurt yourselves.
It’s compelling stuff. Read it. But just make sure your arm rests are down, your seats are in an upright position, you’re buckled in and you know where the exits are in the event of an emergency.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 3, 2014

A fast paced and exciting easy read. Its a perfect holiday read full of interesting characters with great back stories. I loved that it was set in London as most private detective novels are American. But it was obvious from the description of cafes and landmarks the author really knows the areas described I the book. Fast paced and fun plus not too gritty I would recommend this book to anyone but especially people like me who don't normally read detective stories. A fantastic book and good that it is part of a series. I am off to get the second one as soon as I can!
