The Detective's Apprentice
(2024)(The first book in the Small-Town Sleuth series)
A novel by Tom Watts
Hello there, friend. Ever wanted to be a sleuth in a small town?
You’d enjoy it. Wake up, solve a few mysteries, and finish in time for some tasty tavern food with your friends. But this isn’t just any old town, and these aren’t your usual mysteries.
This is Sunhampton, a sleepy little place where you’ll find none of the grisly types of crimes. Missing pigs, strange keys, mysterious statues that keep appearing - those are the kinds of cases you’ll be solving.
Mick Mulroon has been Sunhampton’s head guard for years now. Only he gets paid peanuts and he shares his office with the town caretaker and his brooms. It’s time he got a little more respect and a bit more pay.
It’s time he became an actual, licensed detective. And to do that, Mick needs to become an apprentice. An apprentice sleuth, in fact, with the goal of solving mysteries while he officially earns his trade.
It’ll be hard work. It’ll be strange work. But with a detective to mentor him and a notepad full of peculiar cases to solve, he knows he’ll get there.
Why not grab your magnifying glass and join him?
If you want to escape for a while, solve mysteries in the cozy town of Sunhampton, and spend time with a bunch of lovable characters, then this is the story for you.
