TOO MANY COOKS SPOIL THE BROTH, BUT DO TOO MANY DETECTIVES?

Henry Twyst, eighteenth Duke of Chellingworth, is terribly worried about some water damage to the priceless books in his library and hires a local book restorer to tackle the repairs.

The antiquarian also runs the Crooks and Cooks bookshop with his daughter — local TV celebrity chef, The Curious Cook.

When the book restorer mentions some strange shenanigans going on at the book shop, Dowager Duchess Althea brings the case to the women of the WISE Enquiries Agency.

Just as they are trying to solve one case, they get embroiled in another. They come across a valuable book of miniatures which seems to be the work of a famous local artist, who was murdered by her own brother.

Are the cases linked and why do both mysteries lead to a nearby old folks’ home?

The WISE women are on the case — and nothing will get in their way . . .

THE DETECTIVES
The WISE Enquiries Agency consists of Mavis, Annie, Carol and Christine. One is Welsh, one Irish, one Scottish and one English, hence the name. Drawn together by chance – and a killer – the women of the WISE Enquiries Agency turned their backs on their previous careers to work together to help others. Combining their unique skills, and revelling in their differences, they’re doing their best to make the business succeed. But being private investigators isn’t a bed of roses – there are bills to pay, clients to be managed, and dangers to be faced. Can they manage to do it all, and survive?

AN ABSOLUTELY GRIPPING CRIME THRILLER WITH A MASSIVE TWIST

For forty-four years Mary Harrington has lived in Rivershore, Michigan, a rural community of five thousand. During that time she owned a small book store, married the town dentist, and raised a son. Two-years ago she buried her husband. She's a model citizen . . . with a secret.

Halloween eve, Mary is on her way home from celebrating her only granddaughter's eighteenth birthday. Her car breaks down within walking distance of her house. She notices she's being watched by two teen gang members and hopes, if she's mugged, they simply take her purse and run.

Sergeant Jack Rossini has been with the Rivershore Police Department for twenty-four years, and in their small department, he's the primary investigator. When he hears dispatch call for officers, he decides to help. He finds two teen gang members in need of medical attention and claiming they were attacked by an old lady.

HOW COULD A SEVENTY-FOUR-YEAR-OLD HAVE BEATEN UP TWO GANG MEMBERS?

Mary seems like any other senior citizen. But something doesn’t add up about her story.

The detective's running the risk of making the same mistake as her attackers — underestimating Mary Harrington.

A long time ago Mary did things she hoped no one would ever find out about.

Now the criminals wants revenge. Mary will do anything to keep her son and granddaughter safe.

THE DETECTIVE
Sergeant Jack Rossini is an enterprising police officer who begins digging into Mary’s past. He can find nothing about her life before she opened a bookstore forty-four years ago. He’s suspicious, and asks his son who works for the FBI to see what he can find. Both are told to cease their efforts by superiors.

THE SETTING
The town of Rivershore had been built along the banks of the Ash River back in the late 1800s, and for a time was a way-stop for travellers going from Kalamazoo to Lake Michigan. By the early 1990s, the town had attracted several small companies, along with residents who preferred living in a small town and were willing to drive to Kalamazoo or Grand Rapids for their jobs. Then came the economic downturn in 2008. Now many houses are boarded up as people move away to find work.

DISCOVER A BEAUTIFULLY DRAWN PICTURE OF ENGLAND WITH AN INTRIGUING MYSTERY FOR THE COLONEL TO UNRAVEL

Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Agatha Christie and Stella Cameron.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING THE VILLAGE MYSTERIES
“A thoroughly enjoyable British village cozy mystery that is the first in a series. I'm looking forward to reading the rest.” Sherri

“I was enthralled from the first to the last page.” Lizzie

“I enjoyed this, and look forward to visiting Frog End again.” Laura

“There is nothing like a light British village mystery for when you are under the weather.” Amy

“If you enjoy Miss Marple or the Midsomer Murders type of story then you'll like this.” Carole

THE DETECTIVE
At the grand old age of 55, the Colonel had been put out to grass by the British Army. In the same year, his beloved wife, Laura, died after a long illness. He found himself facing a bleak and lonely future. There were the children, of course, but they were grown up and had busy lives of their own.

One summer, years before, he and Laura spent their leave in England, touring the West Country. They stopped at a village in Dorset called Frog End which had a spit-and-sawdust pub called the Dog and Duck. Laura had fallen in love with a stone cottage seen across the village green. She had admired the thatched roof and the pink roses round the door. Years later, after her death, the Colonel had revisited the same village alone and seen Laura’s dream cottage had aged badly and that it was up for sale. Against his better judgement, he bought it.

THE SETTING
The cottage was called Pond Cottage and the Colonel soon discovered that he had made a big mistake. The two-hundred-year-old building had deathwatch beetle, rising damp, a falling roof, rot and decay throughout. There was no heating and the wiring was a dangerous disgrace. Logs for an open fire were kept in a tin bath in the scullery and the nettle-infested lavatory was housed outside in a jungle. There was no sign of any pond.
But there were compensations: a view over the beautiful village green, clusters of other stone cottages, a Norman church built on Saxon foundations, a graveyard of ancient tombs leaning at perilous angles. And, of course, the Dog and Duck.

IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. IT PROBABLY IS

Farmer Paddy Fenton faces financial ruin as a result of foot and mouth disease among his flock.

Then he gets an offer that he can’t refuse: ready cash to rent one of his outbuildings.

He doesn’t enquire too closely as to what is happening there until a police raid uncovers a sinister operation.

Eric Ward agrees to represent Fenton and soon finds himself in a bitter turf war. The criminal network stretches far beyond the local Northumberland countryside.

Botched operations, a divided and corrupt workforce, and a bleak landscape filled with desperate and disillusioned characters provide the backdrop for Ward's chilling journey into the dark underworld of the north.

It’s not always clear who’s running, or exactly what they’re running from.

A GRIPPING, WELL-CRAFTED MYSTERY THAT WILL HAVE YOU COMPLETELY ABSORBED

Perfect for fans of Peter James, Ruth Rendell, P.D. James and Peter Robinson.

THE DETECTIVE
Eric Ward is forced to retire from the police when he discovers he suffers from glaucoma but qualifies as a solicitor (lawyer) and sets up his practice on the Quayside in Newcastle, where he deals with the seamier side of the law. When he marries a wealthy young woman she attempts to persuade him to settle in Northumberland and work with wealthier clients but he stubbornly refuses to give up his criminal practice in Newcastle. Although she draws him into the world of high finance he still insists on continuing at the Quayside — which causes tensions within his marriage, and lead to unintended consequences.

THE DETECTIVE
Michael Angel is over fifty, married to Mary. They don’t have any children. They are a devoted couple but the relationship sometimes breaks down due to his job or due to the problems of Mary’s sister who lives in Edinburgh and imposes on their easygoing natures. Michael works at the small local police station and is devoted to defeating crime, murder, and dishonesty of any sort and has no personal ambition beyond being a good husband and a successful detective. He doesn’t want promotion with all the routine office work and stress that goes with it. He is incorruptible but always short of money. He is always at odds with his immediate chief, Detective Superintendent Horace Harker, who is lazy, a hypochondriac and not a bit interested in assisting Angel in serious police work.
