Mike Atwell Mysteries: Books 1-5
(2026)(A book in the Mike Atwell series)
An omnibus of novels by Penelope Cress and Steve Higgs
Retirement was supposed to be the end of the danger, but for Mike Atwell, it’s only just the beginning.
Once a seasoned detective, now a struggling private investigator, Mike finds himself dragged back into a world of murder, mayhem, and increasingly bizarre cases. From a deadly writers’ retreat to a suspicious ice cream empire, from haunted golf courses to murderous theatre productions—and beyond—every case is stranger than the last, and every suspect has something to hide.
With his sharp instincts, a chaotic support team that includes his ex-wife and a brilliant young hacker, and more than a few personal demons snapping at his heels, Mike must untangle secrets, lies, and motives before the bodies start piling up.
But in these quaint English settings—where gossip travels faster than truth and everyone is playing a part—solving the crime is only half the battle…
Because in Mike Atwell’s world, nothing is ever quite what it seems—and danger is always closer than you think.
Perfect for fans of witty, fast-paced cosy mysteries, this complete collection delivers five twist-filled whodunits packed with humour, heart, and unforgettable characters.
