The No. 2 Feline Detective Agency 1
The No. 2 Feline Detective Agency
Mandy Morton
Hettie Bagshot has bitten off more than any cat could chew. No sooner has she launched her No. 2 Feline Detective Agency than she’s thrown into her first case.
Furcross, home for senior cats, has a nasty spate of bodysnatching, and three former residents have been stolen from their graves. Hettie and her sidekick, Tilly, set out to reveal the terrible truth. Is Nurse Mogadon involved in a deadly game? Has the haberdashery department of Malkin and Sprinkle become a mortuary? And what flavour will Betty Butter’s pie of the week be?
In a haze of catnip and pastry, Hettie steers the case to its conclusion, but will she get there before the body count rises – and the pies sell out?

Marvellous Milne 5
The Rabbits
A. A. Milne
The adventures of a group of friends, pre-war, with far too much time on their hands.
The Rabbits, as they call themselves, are Archie Mannering, his sister Myra, Samuel Simpson, Thomas of the Admiralty, Dahlia Blair and the narrator, with occasional guests. Their conversation is almost entirely frivolous, their activity vacillates between immensely energetic and happily lazy, and their social mores are surprisingly progressive.
Originally published as sketches in Punch, the Rabbits’ escapades are a charming portrait of middle-class antics on the brink of being shattered by World War I, and fail entirely to take themselves seriously.
So here they all are. Whatever their crimes, they assure you that they won’t do it again – A. A. Milne

Marvellous Milne 4
Chloe Marr
A. A. Milne
Chloe Marr is young, beautiful and so irresistible that countless people fall in love with her, and friends are hypnotized by her charm and warmth. Her origins are a mystery and, in London society, such mystique carries both allure and suspicion.
But when an untimely exodus pulls Chloe from the people around her, they soon realise nobody really knows the truth about anybody else…
A. A. Milne’s ability to portray interwar society is second to none, and this classic novel of an elusive Mayfair delivers his signature humour and lightness of touch.
