Mystery
Aileen Muir
The Hill That Wasn’t There Finn O’Daly knew the town had been lying about being flat for years. Nobody else seemed bothered by this. Adults looked at the roads and saw roads. They looked at the shopping precinct and saw shops, the estate behind Saint Jude’s and saw houses, the narrow strip behind the leisure centre and saw somewhere a council van ought to be parked.
Civic Cozy Mystery
Orla Ashdown
Councillor and part-time actress Imogen Vale discovers the official minutes say she cast the deciding vote to demolish St Brigid's Court—the estate where her sister lives—even though the same record marks her absent and she was performing miles away. A mysterious notation points to an obsolete spousal-proxy rule and drags her estranged husband, county archivist Daniel, into a civic mystery about forged procedure, altered records and who has the power to make a false decision become official truth.
