Sinopse

Lying on a lounger outside a flyblown café near Naples, Mike reflects on the last few months. He'd set off for the wedding of the charismatic Al, whose closed community is in the Calder Valley. Three months later, Mike's wearing a white robe, standing over an open grave.
Alan Newcombe vividly immerses us in the life of Gritstone House. There's no electricity or running water — or contact with the outside world. And Al pulls the strings in a house where there's fraud, secret burials, and clandestine murder.
Gothic, serious, yet brimming with wit and humour, Gritstone is an impressive debut.

    An ebook collection of three novels that follow the hilarious misadventures of a woman who takes no prisoners—which is never ideal for a police officer.   Mavis Upton tackles everything life can throw at her in this humorous, poignant, and moving series of an everyday girl who one day followed a law enforcement dream . . .  Handcuffs, Truncheon and a Polyester Thong   Single mom Mavis Upton decides to pursue her lifelong ambition to become a police officer. Using her newly discovered investigative skills, she reluctantly embarks on a search to find her errant dad who was last seen years before, making off with her mum’s much needed coupon for a fabulous foam cup bra all the way from America.  Whiskey Tango Foxtrot   Our hapless heroine Constable Mavis Upton is preparing to step down the aisle with her fiancé Joe, but has to deal with her temperamental teen daughter, as well as investigate a serial flasher on a push bike. Throw a diva drag queen into the mix and readers can expect the usual hilarious Mavis mishaps that made the first book such a hit.  Blues, Twos and Baby Shoes   Mavis and her daughter Ella are both pregnant. But now Mavis has to deal with a mysterious case involving a blackmailer sending poison pen letters. Can Mavis juggle impending motherhood and her career, maintain a loving relationship with her other half Joe and deal with being a grandmother, all while solving the case?  Series praise   “Laugh out loud brilliance, so witty and cleverly written.” —Samantha Magson   “Hilarious! It’s true, everyone needs Mavis in their life.” —Sherrie Hewson   “Such a terrific read!” —Lorraine Kelly
