#2 – Yule Be Sorry
A festive tale of kidnapping, explosions, & stolen turkeys….
One should never meddle in the affairs of dragons, but someone has been doing just that. They’ve been making imitation dragon scale baubles that are nothing short of lethal, and kidnapping delivery drivers all over the Yorkshire Dales. They’ve also been leaving behind some distinctly dragon-ish traces.
Beaufort Scales, High Lord of the Cloverly Dragons, is hot on the trail – or would be, if he wasn’t having certain political problems at home. That leaves Alice and Miriam to track down the real culprits, rescue the hostages, and salvage Mortimer’s bauble reputation, all while misleading the police regarding the of existence of dragons, and hopefully without being blown up by unexpectedly aggressive Christmas decorations in the process. Luckily they have the full resources of the Toot Hansell Women’s Institute at their disposal. They’ll need it.
And then there’s the small question of who stole all the Christmas turkeys…
Dragons, the Women’s Institute, and one very suspicious cat. What could possibly go wrong?
#3 – A Manor of Life & Death
Warring staff.
"Accidental" poisonings.
Topiary of dubious intent.
Throw in the full complement of the Toot Hansell Women’s Institute and dragons doing yoga on the terrace, and DI Adams is starting to wonder if she might have made a small misjudgement signing up for this particular spa weekend in the country.
And that’s before the dead body in the sauna and the storm that cuts them off from the rest of the world.
Now she’s dealing with a houseful of guests (and staff) who’re looking more suspicious by the moment, fending off protesters wielding table condiments, and trying to keep everyone safe as the storm closes in. She needs to find the killer, keep the dragons hidden, stop the W.I. forming some sort of pearl-and-twinset posse, and try to resist the urge to arrest everyone.
And never mind the problem of the invisible dog.
Sure. It’s going to be a wonderful weekend.
#4 – Game of Scones
Bribery. Corruption. Murder.
Who said local politics were boring?
Suspicious deaths on the Skipton city council don’t sound as though they should have anything at all to do with the Toot Hansell Women’s Institute, and DI Adams would rather like to keep it that way. But when the councillor for Toot Hansell becomes the latest victim, Alice Martin, chair of the W.I. and RAF Wing Commander (ret.), steps straight in to take his place.
Before DI Adams can so much as say lemon drizzle cake the ladies of the Women’s Institute are lurking around farmyards in the company of dragons, farmers are vanishing, the invisible dog’s developed a caffeine dependence, she’s being plagued by nosy journalists, and Alice is already in as deep as she can get.
In deep, and facing a killer that seems to know far too much about her.
Enough, perhaps, to turn the tables …
Murder, mayhem, and old secrets come to light in the Yorkshire Dales – with dragons, of course.
#5 – A Toot Hansell Christmas Cracker
Rebellious Christmas wreaths.
Mysterious welly-dwelling eggs.
A plague of irate water fowl.
And ten ladies of a certain age who are by no means the least troublesome of Toot Hansell’s residents, as far as Detective Inspector Adams is concerned. She’s entirely certain her training never covered dealing with the Women’s Institute, dragons, or festive magic spills.
Not to mention invisible dogs with caffeine dependencies.
But Christmas is almost here. Things can’t go too wrong … can they?
Well. It is Toot Hansell …
