In the beginning.... Lymescale & Grime Enquiry Agents.

 How it all began.

In the beginning was the word and the word was. 'Are you the Mick Finn who wrote the unfunny bits in Brent's Events?'

Yes I know that's more than a word but that's the message that Colin sent to Mick after a gap of about twenty years, and from that small beginning Lymescale & Grime was born.

This is the opening paragraph of a short story that Mick subsequently sent to Colin.


Lymescale & Grime PI’s

Tom Thomas walked into the dining room of his 1950's semi-detached south London home and witnessed the sylph like woman he had spent the last forty years with, eating. He wasn't concerned about what she was eating, or even, how she was eating, it was the fact that she was eating that troubled him.

What are you eating now?” said Tom.

It's my new diet.”

What's it called. The eating for two diet?”


Gripping or what? What, properly, but trust me it gets better.

The first book, Lymescale & Grime, contains ten stories that cover a variety of topics, including; aliens, undercover police officers, the bible, the world of the arts, stalking and so much more.

Each story can be read as a standalone entity but as the book progresses they build on each other and characters and incidents re occur in later books and stories.

If any of the above piques your interest why not put a toe in the murky waters of Lymescale & Grime?





This book and all other Glyn Roy books are available from AmazonLulu and other online stores.

A brief update

A few words just to let you know what we're up to.

We are just finishing off what will be book 8 in the Lymestone & Grime series, it will be called, Lymescale & Grime and the Grateful Dead, and it should be finished by the end of the month.

Recently  had to go back and alter the cover of Dating, Lymescale & Grime because Meta were not happy about a copyright that I had apparently used without permissions. I repeatedly asked them which one and they never replied. In the end I assumed it was a pack pf German dates on the cover of Dating that was the problem and so I've changed that. Although I doubt whether the Frischebox Date company of Germany were overly concerned about the use of their logo on the cover of a supposedly humorous detective book. 

In the next couple of blogs I'll start introducing in chronological  order the books we've written so far, so until then, have a quiet Easter.
