Death at a Barbecue (S & S Investigations, #0) / S & S Investigations (ePub)

The Falling Man Mystery and The Body On The Beach.

It's Christmas Day in New Zealand. The sun is shining, the temperature is rising and all over the country people are enjoying this festive occasion, whether it be a barbecue brunch, a cooked ham for lunch, a platter of cold cuts in the afternoon, or a traditional roast turkey dinner. Annie Jameson, with a few last-minute cancellations and an indecent amount of food, puts out an open invite on Facebook.

Come one come all to Annie and Dean's Christmas Day Barbecue!

Paige, one half of the detective duo known as Squirrel & Swan and a friend of Annie's from high school, accepts the invitation. She leaves her family lunch (it was mostly over anyway) and drags her boyfriend Tim, her best friend and business partner Sophie (thankful to escape a potentially calamitous Christmas meal at her own flat), and their associate Leo, to the barbecue.

On the way, Leo tells them all about The Falling Man Mystery, a situation that's keeping him glued to his phone. But it's not too long before the group becomes distracted by another unexpected event. And this one requires all their attention.

There's a dead body on the beach.

And it's connected to Annie's party.

The team at S & S Investigations have never been able to resist a mystery, and this one is no different!

But can they solve it before the culprit gets away?

Get a taste of a Kiwi Christmas and join the team from S & S Investigations - Auckland's premier (only) psychological investigations agency – as they solve not one but two murders on Christmas Day.

Note: this Christmas novella is a standalone murder mystery that exists with the general Squirrel & Swan universe, of which there is a six-book series (S & S Investigations).
