    About this series

    Physics professor Jacob Hicks is an innocent bystander, but that doesn’t keep him from once again getting in the middle of a mystery when an unobtrusive shop owner is murdered. When Jacob’s imminent breakthrough on his crime-solving computer turns out to be a bust, his sidekick, Emily Dawson, thinks some amateur sleuthing might be a good distraction.

    Meanwhile, Paddy the Rat and his pal Vinnie hope for a quiet holiday in the sewers under Woolaston Road, visiting Vinnie’s family. But when a two-legged dumps a bag of jewellery down a manhole, and Vinnie’s acquisitive cousin claims it, it doesn’t take long for the Rat Mafia to get wind of the treasure trove and make plans for a jewel heist of their own.

    But something is rotten in the sewers of Woolaston Road. A horrible sewer smell is spreading along Woolaston Road and into the shops. While fending off a nosey newcomer, dealing with a baffling string of seemingly unimportant burglaries and running from the Mob, how can Jacob and Paddy get out of this stinky mess before everything blows up in their faces?

      Jacob Hicks has been working on his own secretive project in his allotment shed for years. Then, the weird physics professor with a phobia for women finds himself a murder suspect. Reluctantly tolerating the assistance of Emily Dawson, his best pal’s niece, Jacob is determined to discover the truth. Who would have a reason to kill the allotment society chairman? Meanwhile, Paddy the Rat’s quiet life in the allotments is in chaos. Mad Maggie, the legendary rat catcher from ancient ratlore stories, has returned to Milbury Hill and Paddy’s superstitious warding behaviours are failing. At the same time Paddy’s being plagued by a juvenile bully rat who delights in antagonising Mad Maggie. Unless Paddy can deal with both the obnoxious teen and his childhood bogeyman, all the rats on the hill are in danger. Suspended from his job and with a police inspector determined to pin the crime on him, Jacob, his cat, and his mother could end up living with the rats on the streets of Milbury. With murder, blackmail and the return of childhood nemeses for both humans and rats, will there ever be another quiet moment in the allotments of Milbury Hill?

    Annie Appleton

    Annie Appleton is an indie writer, who loves cats, baking and reading mysteries. On top of that Annie has done her fair share of knitting.This might class her as the stereotypical cosy mystery reader, if it weren’t for the fact that Annie spent nine months of her life working on containerships and many a night looking at the sky in search for the International Space Station.In 2004, Annie was lucky enough to move to the English city of York, where she, like an amateur sleuth in a cosy mystery, ended up in a close-knit, but vibrant community.Annie soon fit in, thanks to a part-time job at the local deli and an allotment society vegetable plot.Having written two non-fiction books about York, Annie is now using her time in York as inspiration for her cosy mystery series, which centres around Jacob Hicks, local physics teacher and generally regarded as the ‘village idiot’, and Paddy the Rat, observer of all things human.
