Dead Stock

Written by Rachel Ward

Narrated by Charlie Sanderson

‘I'm scared of anyone with a knife and a grudge.'

New Year dawns and something is rotten in Kingsleigh. With a body on the bypass and pet cats going missing, supermarket sleuths Ant and Bea have a new case. But juggling problems at work and home takes its toll and as they near the truth, more than one secret is going to come out.

“I love spending time with Bea and Ant! A simply delightful crime-cracking duo.” CHRISTI DAUGHERTY

“Starring the most unlikely but endearing detective pairing since Morse and Lewis…charming, heartwarming.” JOANNA NADIN

“Another brilliant Ant and Bea adventure. The series gets better and better.” CASS GREEN
