The Vignoles Press
Home of the Railway Detective
The best-selling Inspector Vignoles Mysteries series of Historical Crime Fiction started with 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes' published by The Hastings Press in 2007.
Since then the series has expanded to twelve titles and counting...
​
In 2018 The Vignoles Press was created to publish the titles in-house' and slowly all titles will migrate across to The Vignoles Press with new cover artwork.
​
'Murder In Broadway' is now the top-selling murder mystery title set in the Cotswolds!
​

The first DCI Jane Benson Mystery 'A Bullet In THe Temple' is due out late 2025.

Watch this space!
​
The books are written by Stephen Done and all photographs and paintings used on the covers are also my own, skilfully made into beautiful artworks by my good friend Bill Citrine, who designs all the books.
​
If you buy one of my books, it will have been shipped out by myself.
​
All titles are stocked by many of the wonderful heritage railways in the UK, notably the Great Central Railway and the Glous & Warks Steam Railway. Buying from them helps support their work.
​
I am also an artist and recently returned to painting in oils and acrylics and starting to feature these on the book covers. This site offers you the chance to view and potentially purchase unique, one-off paintings at affordable prices.
