Kat Ailes: The Expectant Detectives
Expectant Detectives #1
This charmingly goofy, messy, funny mystery follows a very pregnant Alice and her partner Joe as they forsake the busy (and expensive) chaos of London for “the country.” They’ve chosen the tiny village of Penton in the Cotswolds on the theory that a “posh hippy” community will be a good fit. They bring along their gorgeous, if stupid, dog, Helen, who makes the moving trip to Penton extra nightmarish by vomiting all over the car.
They jam their things into their cute, tiny rental cottage, sleeping on an air mattress. Alice and Joe seem to have mixed feelings on their upcoming blessed arrival and make a stab at joining their new community (and reality) by attending a pre-natal class, where they meet other pregnant mums in the vicinity.
