About this listen

When the celebrated crime writer Agatha Crispy engages Hettie and Tilly in the search for a stolen manuscript, our feline detective duo is plunged into a world of Dickensian thieves and murderers.

Does the ghost of Jake the Nipper prowl the London Streets of Kitzrovia? Will Madame Two Paws’s exhibition wax or wane? And will the secrets in the crypt of the church of St Mavis and Cucumber finally be revealed?

Join Hettie and Tilly as they attempt to unravel yet another darkly humorous case for The No. 2 Feline Detective Agency.

Not one of my favourite stories but still enjoyable. Some of the new characters were very entertaining.

I'm enjoying this series enormously. It's real escapism. I'll never quite understand how Hettie & Tilly manage to stay lythe and fit when they appear to eat their own body weights in the most calorific food in enormous quantities!!
This story was amusing and dark in equal measures. Jenny Funnell as usual brings the story to life. I'm also constantly amused at the silly names of characters in this series. Well, I can't sit here rabbiting on, I'm off to read the next book.. As always I heartily recommend. It's just JOYOUS!
