Overview

A masked costume party, a deadly game, and a cat among the magpies... Toby Solano returns to The Hague to launch The Shamrock Detective Agency and to unearth the truth about the mysterious Arnold Exford - the dead and buried benefactor who apparently just tried to call his mobile... A murder mystery-themed party invitation is hardly what Toby and his quick-witted sidekick Meredith envisaged for their new career as crime-fighters. But as evening falls and the guests gather, a deadly game begins and nothing is quite what it seems. An elaborate investigation plays out against the delightful backdrop of narrow cobblestone streets, ornate Gothic churches, and wide well-surfaced cycle lanes. The Shamrock Detective Agency must risk reputation, personal safety, and spilt tea to prove it can hunt down a killer. Will a neighbourhood of eccentric characters, poisonous fish, an opinionated cat, and dangerous coastal weather be a help or hindrance to the intrepid detectives? Tea will be drunk, maps consulted, secret histories exhumed and at least one very long Dutch word mispronounced. A sparkling new voice in comic crime

Author Information

Julie Broussely writes mystery stories to make you laugh and test your wits, and quite possibly inspire vague notions of wanting to visit watery, bicycle-obsessed European cities. She lives in the sunny Netherlands where it definitely doesn't rain quite all the time, rather like her native England, although there are a lot more windmills and cycling is virtually mandatory.
