DEADLY ERRAND

‘Lively and impressive debut.’ Publishers Weekly

Meet Kate. Nurse turned detective. Used to dealing with death. But not murder.

_______________________

Kate Kinsella is in her office above Humberstones Funeral Directors, contemplating her first real murder case as a private investigator.

Jacky Byfield, a nurse at rundown St. Dymphna’s Hospital, was stabbed to death on the grounds while running an errand on her night shift.

The police have hit a dead end. Jacky’s family are desperate for justice, and it’s up to Kate to get results — and catch a killer.

Kate decides to go undercover at St. Dymphna’s.

But three more people die in suspicious circumstances while she’s there — including her prime suspect.

Will Kate become the fifth victim?

This murder mystery is perfect for fans of Dee MacDonald, Jane Adams, Jean G. Goodhind, and Claire Douglas.

OUR AMATEUR SLEUTH
Twenty-nine-year-old Kate Kinsella and her detective boyfriend David moved to Longborough to start a new life. But fate had other ideas . . . David was hit by a stray brick as he passed a building site. Drunk at the time, he died instantly. Not exactly a hero’s death, especially for a police inspector.

Kate was left a healthy sum of money — and no idea what to do with it. It took some time, but she decided to leave her nursing career behind in favour of more mysterious pursuits. With the support of her eccentric landlord Hubert — funeral director and shoe fetishist — she sets up a detective agency.
