Mysteries, taxidermy, and lonely hearts – what is a woman to do? All is not well on the cosy but quirky English island of Greengage. The mysterious rummaging and stealing from an old lady’s bookshelf exposes secrets and suspicious behaviour. Then there’s a cryptic lovers’ quarrel between two pub owners and an eccentric uncle interfering in affairs of the heart. No wonder Kit Sorel—librarian and now reluctant private detective—is busy. To make things worse, she’s worried about her relationship with the hardworking businesswoman and lady of the manor, Laura Howard. Add a stuffed badger, dog walking bets, a Barbie balloon and a conundrum regarding the name Susan and you’ll be left wondering if Kit can handle these tricky situations? Or will the eccentric, comical Greengagers get in her way as usual? More importantly, will this all be sorted out before this year’s kitten race?

Emma Sterner-Radley spent far too much time hopping from subject to subject at university, back in her native country of Sweden. One day, she finally emerged with a degree in Library and Information Science. She thought libraries was her thing, because she wanted to work with books, and being an author was just an impossible dream, right? Wrong. She's now a writer and a publisher. (But still a librarian at heart, too.) She lives with her wife and two cats in England. There is no point in saying which city, as they move about once a year. She spends her free time writing, reading, daydreaming, working out, and watching whichever television show has the most lesbian subtext at the time. Her tastes in most things usually lean towards the quirky and she loves genres like urban fantasy, magic realism, and steampunk. Emma is also a hopeless sap for any small chubby creature with tiny legs, and can often be found making heart-eyes at things like guinea pigs, wombats, marmots, and human toddlers.
