Writing career

Hall has written several novels about a Plymouth-based television crime reporter, Dan Groves, nicknamed "The TV Detective", who often helps police to solve cases that he is reporting on. The books are all set in Devon.

The first novel, A Popular Murder, was published by a print-on-demand company in 2006.

A mainstream publisher, Accent Press, published Hall's next book, The Death Pictures, in February 2008. The plot concerns the murder of a dying artist. It was published in the United States in October 2008.

Evil Valley came out in September 2008. The story is about preventing a psychopath from committing a crime. Much of the action is set on Dartmoor.

The Judgement Book was published in September 2009. The story is about blackmail.

The TV Detective was published in February 2010. It tells how Groves and Adam Breen, the chief inspector in the series first met and is partly based on A Popular Murder.

The Balance of Guilt was published in September 2010. The story surrounds a terrorist atrocity in a sacred building in Exeter.

Hall has been longlisted for the Crime Writers' Association Dagger in the Library award, for writers most popular with library users.

A play, based on the TV Detective books, has been written by Hall. Called An Unnecessary Murder, it ran at the Barnfield Theatre in Exeter. It is a charitable production, in aid of Hospiscare, a Devon-based organisation that Hall has undertaken many events to support. He cites "very personal" reasons as his motivation.

Hall's latest novel, The Editor, was published in September 2019, by Bloodhound Books. It focuses on four people who have lost hope in life, and set about trying to find it again.

The book is set in Cambridge, the first of Hall's works to be based in the city. He wrote it after moving there in 2017.
