Series

A Mrs Pollifax Mystery

Mrs Emily Pollifax is a 60-something widow who wants more from life than teas and garden club meetings. In search of adventure, she decides to offer her services to the CIA – after all, who would spot a suburban grandmother as a cold war secret agent?

A Tom Knight Mystery

Ex-SAS officer Tom Knight is now a 73-year-old private detective in a seaside town, with a bad leg, a taste for good weed and a morbid fear of growing old. None of this prevents him from becoming entangled in some rather hair-raising investigations.

Lucian Wing

Lucian Wing is an experienced, practical man who enforces the law in his corner of Vermont with a steady hand and a generous tolerance.

An Inspector Pel Mystery

Moody, sharp-tongued and worrying constantly about his health, Inspector Evariste Clovis Désiré Pel ensures that no case goes unsolved, in these mordantly witty French mysteries.

A Dover Mystery

Detective Chief Inspector Wilfred Dover is the most idle and avaricious hero in all of crime fiction. Why should he even be bothered to solve the case? Despite – or because of – all his faults, Inspector Dover remains one of the most memorable detectives in print.

A Cherry PI Mystery

Brentwood, Essex, is no ordinary town: it's the home of Britain's most famous - or infamous - reality TV stars. In The Cherry PI Mysteries, Cherry Hinton uncovers (often literally) the truth about all sorts of seedy TV goings-on. It's Miss Marple meets TOWIE, a mystery as compulsive as Love Island, with a hilarious sleuth you won’t be able to forget.

The No. 2 Feline Detective Agency

Meet Hettie Bagshot, a long-haired tabby cat whose whiskers twitch at the first sign of a mystery, and her best friend Tilly Jenkins. Together, they run the No. 2 Feline Detective Agency, and nothing will stop them from untangling each brain-teasing case that comes their way – though there’s always time for one of Beryl Butter’s pies along the way, of course.

A Flaxborough Mystery

What strange passions seethe beneath the prosperous surface of Flaxborough town? Affable but diligent Detective Inspector Purbright is tasked with uncovering the darker underbelly of greed, corruption and crime. A classic British series of police mysteries, laced with wry humour.

A Yellowthread Street Mystery

Set amidst the urban fantasia of Hong Kong, William Marshall’s Yellowthread Street novels raise crime fiction to a high art form. Surrealistic and suspenseful, vivid in their procedural details and brilliant in their scope, they are the work of a uniquely gifted writer.

A Miss Seeton Mystery

Retired art teacher Miss Seeton steps in where Scotland Yard stumbles. Armed with only her sketch pad and umbrella, she is every inch an eccentric English spinster and at every turn the most lovable and unlikely master of detection.
