KAT AILES works in publishing as an editor and freelanced for several years to allow her to take a couple of belated gap years, including hiking the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada. She now lives in the Cotswolds with her lovely husband, their young son and her beautiful but foolish dog.
The Expectant Detectives is her debut novel, the first draft of which was written largely (and frantically) in three weeks after she submitted the first few chapters to the Comedy Women in Print Prize and was unexpectedly shortlisted.
Genres: Cozy Mystery

The Dog Park Detectives (2024)
(Dog Park Detectives, book 1)
Blake Mara
"An absolute delight to read. Like a lovely, summery stroll in the park - specifically the dog park."
Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies (2024)
(Vacation Mystery, book 1)
Catherine Mack
"A sparklingly fresh take on the classic murder mystery novel. A fast-paced and twisty delight of a novel that kept me guessing till the end, with a fabulously witty and entertaining narrator and heroine."
