    The Price & Miller Mysteries Series

    About this series

    The Case of the Exploding Granny

    This is the second book in the Price & Miller Mysteries, following on from The Case of the Haunted Cot.

    Glenys Marsh, an elderly grandmother-to-be, is found burnt to ashes in her home, her arms and legs the only parts of her remaining. And when a local detective’s casual remarks are reprinted in the paper, calling it "a classic case of spontaneous human combustion," it attracts the attention of paranormal investigators Price & Miller.

    It’s only their second case, and already Miller’s doubting their newly formed partnership. As he struggles with the religious connotations of an innocent person bursting into flames, the limits of Miller’s compassion get seriously tested as he starts to work out the secret tragedy that broke Price and made him the man he is today. All while dealing with another grieving family, the growing disappointment of his closest and dearest friend, and creatively humiliating science lessons from Price.

    Harry Marsh, Glenys’ only living relative, has his own theory about the kind of power it takes to make a person erupt into flames. But with it being mere weeks away from him becoming a father, and his fiancée not sharing his opinions, he may just be forced to choose between keeping his family and fighting the devil in the name of God.

    Trenton Price, meanwhile, discovering more and more holes in his scientific explanations, is coming to some very different conclusions. And they're every bit as sinister and worrying as the work of the devil himself.

      The first book in the Price & Miller Mysteries Sophie and Keith Fullwood have suffered the worst loss imaginable, and their nightmare is only just beginning. There’s the constant feeling of being watched, the moving shadows just out of sight, and everything else they’ve ever heard about hauntings. But all of those are nothing, compared to the sounds coming through the radio. The terrified cries they hear have no business being heard this side of the grave, and they carry far too many unanswered questions. It’s more than Sophie and Keith can handle. Keith, determined to find a less horrifying explanation than the ones presenting themselves, hires Trenton Price, anti-nonsense and anti-social skeptic and atheist. Sophie, meanwhile, enlists the help of Joseph Miller, paranormal expert and part-time caretaker at her church. Joseph Miller is determined to do whatever he can to help the Fullwoods and the spirit, and he’ll even do whatever he can to save the soul of Trenton Price. There’s just one thing he doesn’t anticipate: Trenton Price is every bit as brilliant as he is arrogant.
