    About this ebook

    Bluebelle Investigations hits the ground running in this gripping sequel to the highly acclaimed thriller Private Viewing.

    Jane Child's first case: a missing cat. How did she get the boring one? Partner Matt Healy's is far more interesting: someone's counterfeiting top-notch coffees and threatening a Royal Appointment.

    But sometimes less can be more. More complex, more frightening and much, much more dangerous.

    Add in the biggest data hack in history, a couple of hired assassins desperate to cover up the crime, and you have all the elements of another suspense-filled page-turning Jane Child / Matt Healy thriller.

    And Bluebelle has new cat door!

    If you're a fan of loveable characters, thrilling action, snappy dialogue, humour, suspense and a hint of romance, this full-length novel will satisfy fans all great mysteries and crime thrillers. If you love the books of Lee Child, Ian Rankin, Paula Hawkins and Gillian Flynn, you'll love Private Lives.
