Elise Butler is a wildlife biologist who enjoys her stable (if somewhat predictable) job in finance at the World Wildlife Trust. However, when the veterinarian at Riverbend Animal Conservation Center goes missing, Elise offers to help the unlucky wildlife Conservation Center get back on its feet. Not only will the job in Riverbend, Indiana let her get back to her roots of working with animals, but it’s also a short drive from her sister’s workplace at Riverbend K-9 Academy, a training center for some of the FBI’s best explosive detection dogs.FBI Special Agent Finn Cooper and his canine partner, Sedona, are chasing a well-funded animal trafficking ring. After an injury sidelines Finn from official FBI undercover work, he goes to work at Riverbend K-9 Academy to stay busy while he recovers…and to investigate his only remaining lead in the animal trafficking case.Just as Elise begins to settle into life in Riverbend, her sister asks her to help the K-9 Academy by fostering one of their puppies. Finn is eager to keep Elise focused on training Zeke, the enthusiastic German shepherd puppy earmarked to become Riverbend’s first wildlife detection K-9, and keep her well away from his quiet animal trafficking investigation. Zeke quickly proves himself an expert both at chewing shoes and sniffing out clouded leopards. When Zeke starts finding scents where they don’t belong, Elise and Finn begin to realize that the Conservation Center may be more criminal than unlucky. And if Elise doesn’t keep her nose out of it, she might be the next target.An Ear for Trouble is Book 2 in the Riverbend K-9 Series. All books in the Riverbend K-9 Series may be enjoyed as standalone novels or as a series.

‘Few crime writers are so enchantingly gifted.’ The Sunday TimesMeet your favourite new sleuthing duo: chalk-and-cheese neighbours, Carole and Jude!CaroleIf British restraint could take human form, it would look suspiciously like Carole Seddon. A retired civil servant with a penchant for order, she keeps her seaside life as tightly buttoned as her sensible raincoat. Carole enjoys the predictable: routine, solitude, and a well-mannered Labrador named Gulliver (at least he doesn’t answer back like her troublesome ex-husband). But when a dead body rudely interrupts her morning stroll, Carole is reluctantly dragged out of her comfort zone. Cue exasperated sighing and meticulous note-taking.JudeOn the other side of the spectrum (and Carole’s garden fence) lives Jude, a woman of mystery and many scarves. A free-spirited, incense-burning, alternative medicine-dabbling whirlwind, she breezes into Fethering with a knowing smirk and a refusal to reveal her past. Unlike Carole, Jude is perfectly at ease with life’s chaos — actually, she thrives on it. So when Carole finds herself at the centre of a vanishing body mystery, Jude gleefully jumps in, convinced that life is far more interesting when it involves a bit of detective work.Together, they make the most unlikely crime-solving duo: one stiff as a starched collar, the other as loose as a yoga instructor at a full moon retreat. But despite their differences, this odd pair is about to prove that murder in a sleepy seaside town is anything but predictable.**A CWA DIAMOND DAGGER AWARD WINNER!**Fans of Agatha Christie, Robert Thorogood, M.C. Beaton, The Thursday Murder Club, Faith Martin, Janice Hallett and Peter Boland will be hooked from the very first page!MORE PRAISE FOR SIMON BRETT:‘Stunning.’ JILLY COOPER‘An event for mystery fans!’ P.D.

"My name is Jules Hooker. I have lived through a few crappy moments in my life—and with a name like Hooker, you can just imagine—but nothing, nothing, compares to the two intensely and world-shatteringly crappy things that happened to me this last June. Three, I guess, if you count Gilbert. After my boyfriend dumped me on the day I thought he was going to propose, I’d have to say two other really bad things happened last June. The first would have to be the dead body I discovered in the rental house in France where I went to get over being dumped. The second—and very possibly I should have led with this—was the dirty bomb that exploded over the Riviera throwing me and everyone else in France back to the 1950s. So now I’m stranded here—trying to make a living by solving murders the old fashioned way — without help from DNA, databases, CSI crime labs or the police. And I’m doing it in France. Where I do not speak the language. During the apocalypse. Sound like fun?"
