1: The Flowers of Elysium
“This is just glorious . . . a must-read for any and all crime fans!”
Janice Hallett
COMING JUNE 2025
In this interactive crime novel, step into the shoes of a detective and investigate the most mysterious crime of your career.
There’s been a murder at Elysium, a wellness retreat set in an English country manor. You arrive to find the body of a local businessman on the lawn – with a rose placed in his mouth. It appears he was stabbed with a gardening fork and fell to his death from the balcony above. But that balcony can only be accessed through a locked door, the key is missing, and everyone in Elysium is now a suspect . . .
Gather the evidence and examine the clues. Choose who to interview next, and who to accuse as your prime suspect. But remember that every decision you make has consequences – and some of them will prove fatal . . .
Do you have what it takes? Can YOU solve the murder?
The Dog Sitter Detective
Murder mysteries . . . with dogs!
“Cosy crime, dogs, and a fabulous heroine to root for . . . The Dog Sitter Detective is a fantastic read”
Hannah Hendy
Retired actress Guinevere ‘Gwinny’ Tuffel is finding life hard after inheriting her late father's run-down home and discovering she's broke. But Gwinny’s delighted to be at her best friend Tina's country house, for Tina's wedding to a handsome Italian business magnate . . . until the husband-to-be is found dead in the library and Tina is accused of the murder.
Convinced of her friend's innocence, Gwinny must piece together the truth and uncover the real killer from a pool of larger-than-life suspects, who all have something to hide . . . while also looking after Tina's expensive saluki dogs!
The Dog Sitter Detective Takes the Lead
“Warm, witty, and with a decidedly wicked sense of humour, this book is a ton of fun”
Alice Bell
Gwinny Tuffel is preparing for her first acting role in a decade in the West End, but she is still dog-sitting on the side to keep the wolf from the door. So, when ageing rock star Crash Double needs help with his Border Collie, she jumps at the chance. After all, looking after the charming Ace on Crash's Little Venice houseboat shouldn't be an onerous task. But that's before the singer's dead body surfaces during the annual Canal Carnival festivities.
While the police dismiss the death as an accident, Gwinny suspects murder most foul. With a medley of suspects and some far-fetched motives to make heads or tails of, it is up to Gwinny, with Ace's on the ground knowledge, to make sure the killer faces the music!
The Dog Sitter Detective Plays Dead
“Another fine caper from the master of the genre. I adored it”
Josie Lloyd
Gwinny Tuffel is on location in the misty Yorkshire Dales filming a small part in Draculania, a genderswapped remake of Bram Stoker's classic tale, when life begins to imitate art a little too closely. One of the cast members is found dead inside a locked trailer, with a stake through their heart.
With a prima donna in the starring role, filming is already facing delays, while Gwinny is being run ragged by Lily, the Jack Russell terrier she's looking after for a friend in hospital. Against the backdrop of Hendale Hall with its own vampire legend, a flesh-and-blood killer has struck. Will Gwinny be able to find the murderer before the production or any further victims are cut?
And coming soon . . .
