THE STORY—Two nosy detectives Rose and Monty set up their own private detective agency and tackle their first case, a fire at a farmhouse which killed two people. The only witnesses are a teenager who hasn’t spoken since the fire and a dog called Panda. Lots of clues to ‘sniff out’. Can they find where the ‘bones are buried’?

A SWEET SAD NOTE—“This third book in the series is my most mysterious and, I hope, the funniest. It also means a lot to me personally because The Nosy Detectives is dedicated to my golden retriever, Pickles, the book’s inspiration, who died last year. My publisher commissioned Laura Gaitán, a fabulous artist, to hand sketch the cover and to liken the picture of the dog to Pickles. It gives me such joy to see him on the book jacket.” Louisa Bennet 2023
