Summary

From the Amazon best-selling author of the Wonky Inn Books comes a brand-new magical fantasy witch detective series.

Dodo was dead. And there the matter should have rested.

At least for DS Elise Liddell.

Emotionally burnt out, she considers herself retired from police work.

By rights it has nothing to do with her, but someone killed the poor man and, as Elise can resist everything except a good puzzle (and a shot of Blue Goblin vodka), here she is tangled up in a murder case.

When a petty thief hands himself into the Ministry of Witches Police Department, Elise’s ex-colleagues consider it an open and shut case.

She’s less convinced.

Revitalized by the investigation, she takes the suspect on as the first client of her new paranormal detective agency. What would this insignificant wretch have to gain by murdering the cantankerous old wizard? Elise knows full well, by uncovering the motive she can reveal the true killer.

But she forgets, in Tumble Town even the shadows are alive...and now someone or something is hunting her.

The Wonderland Detective Agency Series is a paranormal cozy mystery series, set in the same Wonkyverse that listeners have already fallen in love with. While some of the characters and places will be instantly familiar, Wycherley effortlessly casts her spell so that her zany new friends quickly become ours too.

Packed full of witches, wizards, warlocks, ghosts, shadow people, and more, you’ll love this glimpse into the dark side.

Take a walk in Tumble Town today!

Absolutely LOVED this

I loved this story, everything about it including the narration, a thoroughly entertaining and comical tale of murder, mystery and magical shenanigans.

On to book 2 ...

Witchy Wonderland!

I love the Wonky Inn stories and I’m so happy that there is a cross over in this new series. I love the mix of characters and the fact that Elise isn’t a perfect heroine, with her love of Blue Goblin Vodka, coffee and stodgy food. The narrator is perfect and I ended up binge listening this book, definitely brightened up my day! I’ve started on book 2 already, can’t wait to see what case is in store for the gang at the Wonderland Detective Agency!

Great start to the new series

Love this first venture into Tumble Town and the beginnings of the Wonderland Detective Agency. It was great to get to know Elise better, and the dark area of London that's been referred to a few times in the Wonky Inn series.

This was my first audio book and, having also read the book (and loved it!), I found that the narrator really brought the characters to life. Well written, well read, good pace. When it finished, I felt like I'd got to know new characters, and a new place and plot that I can't wait to get to know even better 😁
