shakespeare & hathaway-private investigators

Frank and Luella are employed by Val Twigg to investigate the business model of a rival slimming company, Fatbusters, who have stolen her clients. Luella goes undercover as a client to discover the method used to induce clients to lose weight. The head of Fatbusters is the charismatic Kit Willow who used to work with Twigg and has a new business partner in Diana Winter. One of his clients is "Slim" Jim Sandford who until recently had lost a lot of weight. Another client is Luella's sister Lia and her fractious behaviour is never far away as they are clearing their mother's house approaching the anniversary of her loss at sea. The cleaner at the club also displays irrational behaviour and Frank suspects drugs. When Willow is murdered in a frenzied attack Detective Sergeant Keeler arrests Twigg as the last person to see him alive.

About Shakespeare & Hathaway-Private Investigators:

Private inspector Frank Hathaway has always worked alone.

But Frank isn't doing so well.

He's out of shape and low on cash.

Frank needs a partner.

Frank needs ex-hairdresser and people-person Lu.

He just doesn't know it yet.

The two eventually join forces and form a highly unlikely and hugely entertaining detecting duo.

Frank and Lu quickly discover that all is not as peaceful as it seems in their pretty theatre town.

The mayor is murdered, vengeful lovers stalk the streets and a magician's trick fatally misfires.

Welcome to Stratford-upon-Avon, where low life criminals get caught up in deliciously high drama.
