It's 1963 and as the Beatles & Stones are tuning up, Constable Les Pinchen and his amateur sleuth wife, Joyce, uncover dark secrets in dozy Orton Magna. Scandal and sexual intrigue are not confined to Westminster. A lighthearted read for the darkening evenings. #books www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GGX8RCMB

Old Mole's like a greyhound in the slips. Just look at him, ready and raring to go. Well, the game's afoot, at least rewilder Georges Montgolfiere's game is, so let's see what Mole makes of it all. Hold up, he's sniffing the air, spring's arrived and we're off- www.amazon.co.uk/Willows-Rewi...

1963. East Anglia. A vicar in a churchyard at dawn. A frosty woman in a remote farmhouse. A mysterious yacht offshore. Aristocratic secrets. Oh, and a missing pair of trouser braces… A case for Les & Joyce Pinchen in the first of the Orton Magna Mysteries. #books #booksky

Respectable people. Disreputable secrets. March 1963. The Profumo scandal brews, Christine Keeler vanishes… and in Norfolk, a village constable is chasing a missing pair of trouser braces. Cosy, comic, and dangerously improper. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GGX8RCMB

Introducing Georges Montgolfiere, zealous rewilder in need of the Toad estate and most improbable business partner to Horatio Toad. What could go wrong? 'A wild, witty romp through rewilding, a twisted adventure that’s as thought-provoking as it is escapist. www.amazon.co.uk/Willows-Rewi... #booksky
