In the second instalment of Lynne Truss's joyfully quirky crime series, our trio of detectives must investigate the murder of a hapless romantic; an aristocratic con man on the prowl; and a dodgy Brighton nightspot... It is summer in Brighton and the Brighton Belles are on hand to answer any holidaymaker's queries, no matter how big or small. The quickest way to the station, how many pebbles are on the beach and what exactly has happened to that young man lying in the deckchair with blood dripping from him? Constable Twitten has a hunch that the fiendish murder may be connected to a notorious Brighton nightspot and the family that run it, but Inspector Steine is - as ever - distracted by other issues, not least having his own waxwork model made, while Sergeant Brunswick is just delighted to have spied an opportunity to finally be allowed to go undercover. Our incomparable team of detectives are back for another outing in the second instalment of Lynne Truss's joyfully quirky crime series.

He's looking for the perfect wife. She's just looking for the perfect one-night stand. As literary agent to a romance novelist, Zoey Moody's life currently revolves around love - which is ironic, as she is practically allergic to the L word. She's also a city girl through and through, and yet here she is in tiny Story Lake, Pennsylvania, trying to wrangle author Hazel's next big hit. Life isn't exactly going to plan. It takes all of five minutes in town before chaos finds her, sending her directly into the path of Gage Bishop, one of the stupidly handsome Bishop brothers. He is exactly the kind of romance hero that could entice a heroine to succumb to the charm of small-town life - but Zoey is no romance lead, and Gage can't seem to stand her. It's clear they're all wrong for each other. She's allergic to commitment and can't work a calendar app; he's looking to settle down and has the next five years all planned out. But when Gage's world is rocked by a devastating family secret, he turns to Zoey for one night to forget everything. That one night might just change everything . . . or ruin it. Zoey suddenly finds herself wanting to be the one to save him - and maybe even be saved in return. Can Story Lake inspire a woman who is terrified of love to finally write her own happy ending?
