Crime-fighting duo Ant and Bea investigate missing cats - but what does that have to do with the body on the bypass?
'I'm scared of anyone with a knife and a grudge'
New Year dawns and something is rotten in Kingsleigh. With a body on the bypass and pet cats going missing, supermarket sleuths Ant and Bea have a new case. But juggling problems at work and home takes its toll - and as they near the truth, more than one secret is going to come out.
I thoroughly enjoyed spending my weekend with Ant and Bea and can't wait to read about their next adventure which I believe will be out soon!
* The Portobello Book Blog *I'm not sure I can recommend the Ant and Bea mysteries highly enough, Dead Stock is perfectly readable as a stand alone but I would suggest reading The Cost of Living first to really enjoy it to the fullest!
* Sarah Withers Blog *The brilliant second installment of the Ant & Bea Mysteries is filled with cats, mystery and murder - what more could you need?I absolutely adore this series.
* Between the Pages blog *'Bea and Ant are a delightful crime-solving duo and I'll very happily join them again for another clean-up in a Costsave aisle.'
* Crime Review *'Another brilliant Ant and Bea adventure. This series gets better and better.'
* Cass Green *'Starring the most unlikely but endearing detective pairing since Morse and Lewis, Dead Stock is a charming, heartwarming page-turner. Agatha Christie meets Car Share and Coronation Street.'
* Joanna Nadin *'I love spending time with Bea and Ant! A simply delightful crime-cracking duo.'
