Summary
Pat Butcher is good at one thing, and one thing only: failing.
Still feeling the repercussions of his marriage falling apart, Pat is doing everything he can to keep his bookstore, The Beaver Burrow, afloat. But as bills keep piling up and customers seemingly vanish into thin air, he’s forced to search for new ways to bolster his floundering business.
So, when an opportunity to partner with their local museum arises Pat jumps to accept it. Only now it means he’s forced to work with their assistant curator, Captain Theodore Winston, a man Pat has been embroiled in a bitter rivalry with for the better part of a year.
All Pat has to do is plan one event without murdering his colleague, which may prove to be impossible.
Probably.

Summary
Robin Bone was a cantankerous, hostile old boozehound. A man who Julian would cross the street to avoid. A man who looked like he was more likely to be huddled in a shop doorway on a cold night than live in such an idyllic (and commuter friendly) English village. Julian was literally willing to drop half a mil just to get the man to leave the village forever. Which all rather begged the question - what the fuck was Julian doing standing outside his door for the second time in two days?
