DISCOVER YOUR NEXT FAVOURITE MYSTERY SERIES.
Meet the Women of the WISE Enquiries Agency: Mavis, Annie, Carol and Christine. One is Welsh, one Irish, one Scottish and one English. Hence the name.
A MISSING DANCER THREATENS THE DUKE’S WELSH WEDDING
Henry, 18th Duke of Chellingworth, is about to marry Stephanie Timbers in a grand ceremony at his Welsh estate.
He’s deeply in love with her but is overwhelmed by the wedding details: including Welsh cakes, elaborate decorations, and a bard to announce their nuptials.
Not to mention the Morris dancers who must lead the wedding party through the village.
And now one of them is missing. Along with the troupe’s kit of exquisite sixteenth-century silver bells and engraved sticks.
Can the ladies track him down and save the day? In between plenty of tea and biscuits, they’ll find plenty of secrets behind the net curtains of an idyllic Welsh village.
Perfect for fans of Stella Cameron, Faith Martin, Agatha Christie, Frances Evesham, Betty Rowlands, or M.C. Beaton.
THE DETECTIVES
The WISE Enquiries Agency consists of Mavis, Annie, Carol and Christine. One is Welsh, one Irish, one Scottish and one English, hence the name. Drawn together by chance – and a killer – the women of the WISE Enquiries Agency turned their backs on their previous careers to work together to help others. Combining their unique skills, and revelling in their differences, they’re doing their best to make the business succeed. But being private investigators isn’t a bed of roses – there are bills to pay, clients to be managed, and dangers to be faced. Can they manage to do it all, and survive?
