Description
A light-hearted cozy mystery full of colourful characters!
Quentin Cadbury and Wanda Merrydrew have only been private detectives for a short time. Yet after locking horns with London’s criminal underworld, they now have a murderous villain on their tail.
Faced with mortal danger, Quentin decides it is a good time to finally visit his family in Australia and lie low for a while.
But when he hears about a spate of robberies in their Sydney neighbourhood, Quentin cannot resist the opportunity to put his detective skills to the test. And hopefully prove his worth to his ever-disapproving father.
With few clues to go on and the sun bearing down, Quentin and Wanda will struggle like fish out of water. Can they come up trumps and earn some respect?
THE MYSTERY DOWN UNDER is the third cozy crime fiction title in this humorous series. Look out for the first two books, THE MYSTERY OF THE HIDDEN FORTUNE and THE MYSTERY OF THE LUCKY CAT, both also FREE with Kindle Unlimited and available in paperback.
Great for fans of Rachel Ward, Anita Waller, T.A. Williams!

This was. a good book, nicely written cozy mystery. With the lingering threats against him, Quentin decides it is a good time to visit his family in Australia, and take Wanda with him. While there they stumble on a series of thefts, and of course can only resist getting involved for so long. As always, the characters are completely enjoyable, and the setting was great. While the plot moved a little slow in this book, it still had a great mystery, some action, and aa nice twist. Overall a great read.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

An entertaining and well plotted cozy mystery that I thoroughly enjoyed. Tightly knittted, entertaining and solid. It kept me guessing and turning pages
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

This is the third book in the Quentin Cadbury Investigations series. It's a cosy mystery set in Australia.
I haven't read any of the other books in the series, but I quite liked this. It was very light, easy reading, short enough to read in one sitting, if so desired, and it had the cosy quality that I was hoping for. I warmed to the detectives, Quentin and Wanda, and I liked how they worked together. There was also some humour scattered throughout the book, which I enjoyed. Based on this, I think I would like to read some of the others in this series.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review.

This is the third book in the Quentin Cadbury Investigations series. It's a cosy mystery set in Australia.
Welcome to Australia!
This books sits you down on a cold and rainy day and delivers your warm tea between your hands and has you invested. Get comfortable because this is a cozy mystery! You do not need to read the previous books in the series to catchup in this book. It can be read as a stand-alone. However, because i liked it so much I will go back and read the others.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review.
