An unexpected inheritance, a failing private detective agency, and a seemingly impossible crime... Inheriting a private detective agency in a different country and from a complete stranger was absolutely not on Monday's to-do list for London office worker Toby Solano. He soon finds himself stumbling through an unfamiliar world of peculiar crimes, unfeasibly long Dutch words, and troublesome questions about his benefactor. Toby travels to the historic city of The Hague to close the failing business and avoid financial ruin. But his plan is abruptly derailed when he is forced to investigate a suspicious death at a miniature village tourist attraction. In desperation, Toby enlists the local expertise and sharp wit of the singularly blunt Meredith Wright. It's a race against time to solve the mystery, close the agency and avoid adopting an insistent stray cat. Set in The Hague, Amsterdam and London, Death On A Tiny Scale mixes a fiendishly twisty crime with comical observations of cross-cultural confusion. Not least, the problem of finding a decent cup of tea when you're not at home... A quirky, modern twist on the classic crime mystery. The first book in The Shamrock Detective Agency series.
