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.

Bea's favourite customer, Julie, hasn't been seen for weeks. Her abusive husband, Dave, claims she's left him but Bea can't shake the feeling something worse has happened. When a body is found, it seems to confirm her fears - until it comes out that the corpse is fifteen years old. Where is Julie? Who is the dead girl? And what was her connection to Bea's late father? Ant and Bea are back with their most personal case yet.

A royal visit is coming to Kingsleigh. Definitely worth rolling out the red carpet for! The only problem is no one’s actually seen the red carpet since the grand opening of the deli counter back in 2001 . . . Our loveable amateur sleuths are on the case. Ant is searching for the carpet, but Bea and the rest of the team have another problem on their hands. A young lad is spotted shoplifting and new security guard Evan gives chase down the high street. Later that day, the boy is found dead. Gentle giant Evan swears he let the boy go after rugby tackling him to the ground. So how did the lad wind up dead? The Supermarket Sleuths are on the case—and hopefully they’ll find the missing carpet before the royals arrive!

Finders keepers, losers . . . Dead? Checkout girl Bea Jordan has a knack for stumbling into trouble. Even so, nothing can ruin her picnic in the allotment with her best friend, green-thumbed Ant. With the annual Kingsleigh Flower and Produce Show approaching, she feels he’s had little time for her. Especially with the drama of a prize-winning tomato thief on the loose. But a grizzly discovery is waiting for them by the pumpkin patch . . . The body of Dylan Bradley, their old history teacher. Someone stuck a trowel in his head and left him for dead. But who would want to hurt Dylan? Bea has a feeling it has something to do with the ruby ring he dug up in the allotment. Then the discovery of a second body throws the townsfolk into full-blown turmoil. Now Bea must juggle small-town secrets, rivalries and murder with her growing feelings for Ant. Can she dig up the truth before the killer strikes again, or has Bea finally planted the seed for her own demise?
