M. W. Brook writes the Detective Mash Adventures, satirical mysteries that remix public-domain classics with ancient philosophy, etymology and a very good dictionary. Based in Brisbane, Australia, Brook has a background in audio production and builds each story to be heard as well as read, so every clue lands by ear. Plots are treated like systems to debug: find the fault, test the theory, keep what survives. AI is used openly as a drafting and editing tool. Start with The Clockwork Recluse, Mash's first locked-room case.
