Story
Jack Tate is hopeless.... Everything he touches turns into a disaster, but he means well. His business is even less successful than his love life. His once-thriving coffee shop was on the brink of bankruptcy, but salvation could be right under his nose. At the insistence of his loyal and underappreciated assistant, Emma, he sees that the last hope of saving his business could be the only customers who’ve not deserted him for the faceless coffee chains - the old folk.

Story
Eyes Peeled is the Isle of Man’s first and only detective agency. Not much happens on the idyllic Island that needs detecting, so on the whole, the team is not the most adept. In fact, generally speaking, they’re pretty useless. One of the agency’s more eager employees is Sam Levy. Nearing 40, he’s finally found a job he actually loves - even if he isn’t particularly good at it. Okay, let’s be honest. He’s rubbish. Still, Sam’s services are secured by persons unknown to track down a glamorous yet mysterious art dealer recently arrived on the sleepy Island.

Frank's had better days.... The doctor gave him the news he didn't want, and he's also discovered the worst kept secret in Liverpool: that his wife's fitness instructor is providing her services that extend beyond the gym. With time a dwindling commodity, Frank decides it's time to do something he wants to do. With a little encouragement from his oldest friend, Stan, the first destination for his 'bucket list' is the Isle of Man TT Races. They had been content to just spectate, but fate had other ideas.

For some kids, playing their game console was a matter of life and death.... But for 10-year-olds Luke and Conor, it was more important even than that! In fact, the topic of conversation on every boy’s - and even a fair few girls' - lips was the latest shoot-em-up survival game called Hundred-to-One. The prospect of competing in the Hundred-to-One world championship tournament, with untold riches in prize money and international bragging rights, was simply irresistible.

Story
Tom is a bit of a waster...Turning the wrong side of t30 hit him pretty hard, and what with having no money, no love life, no decent job prospects to speak of, and with debt coming out of his ears, well, the future wasn’t exactly looking too rosy. Tom knew he wanted more out of life and now was the right time to make a fresh start, but, in typical fashion, he didn't have a plan or even the faintest idea of where to begin. So, logically, he'd start by quitting his current job and see what turned up in the process!

I thought I was sorted on the life front. I was a heart surgeon with a loving partner and two gorgeous little girls. Except my husband’s version of "loving" is lying, cheating, and sleeping his way around London. Which means I definitely deserve a refund. Unfortunately, moving on isn’t that simple. Just because I know how to operate on a heart doesn’t mean I know how to fix my broken one. Plus, I lost the receipt for him years ago, so I’m definitely getting shortchanged. But now that I’m single, am I ready to mingle?

Story
When an old school friend begs for her help, Patricia takes on a case more suited to her friend Tempest Michaels - a criminal dubbed "the Banshee" is attacking people in their homes and paralyzing them with its scream. The police believe it is a burglar with a unique twist, but Tempest seems to know differently. The two teams join forces again, but this case will test them to their limits.
Summary
Life rarely stands still when you surround yourself with old folk with more energy than a sugar-fueled toddler, and for Jack Tate, well, he wouldn’t have it any other way. The Lonely Heart Attack Club was going from strength to strength, and the gang were eager to sink their (false) teeth into their next challenge.
After seeing first-hand the benefits that internet access has brought to a couple of simpletons like Ray and Grandad, the team set their sights on providing tablet computers to those in the community that would benefit from them the most. However, that would take a serious amount of dosh, so they would need to double their fundraising efforts.
Unfortunately, it would appear that not everyone was on board with the charitable work, and a serious error in judgement threatened to undo all of their good work and leave the charity in ruins. Still, they were a resilient bunch, and they’d fight on, regardless. And the perfect way to drag yourself through a crisis? Another world record attempt, of course!
