The Seaside Detective Agency
Summary
Eyes Peeled is the Isle of Man’s first and only detective agency. Not much happens on the idyllic Island that needs detecting, so on the whole, the team is not the most adept. In fact, generally speaking, they’re pretty useless. One of the agency’s more eager employees is Sam Levy. Nearing 40, he’s finally found a job he actually loves - even if he isn’t particularly good at it. Okay, let’s be honest. He’s rubbish. Still, Sam’s services are secured by persons unknown to track down a glamorous yet mysterious art dealer recently arrived on the sleepy Island. Her arrival itself isn’t overly suspicious...but the international crime boss hot on her tail most certainly is! Sam is desperate to prove himself and impress his pretty colleague, but this investigation could end up putting him in rather a spot of bother, with our hero risking life, limb and hairpiece! With this case, he could well have bitten off more than he can chew.

Frank 'n' Stan's Bucket List - #2: TT Races
Summary
The hilarious sequel to the feel-good smash hit comedy. Frank’s too busy enjoying life just now to worry about dying.... Bucket list item number one for Frank and his oldest friend, Stan, was the TT Races. They did it, and loved it so much, that now they’re heading back for item number two on the list - TT Races yet again! The fledgeling race team they’d cobbled together on their first outing - despite moments of definite glory - didn’t exactly thrive. But, despite this, they’ve once again secured the trusty services of Dave and Monty - the two most out of shape, yet passionate and dedicated, racers in the paddock - and they’re optimistically eyeing a top 10 finish. With his unhappy marriage and wallet-draining ex-wife now firmly in the past, Frank is ready for a positive change - time and health permitting. Life in the glorious Isle of Man has rejuvenated him, and he’s now eager, in fact, to make it his home. But he’s not going anywhere unless his mate Stan’s coming, too!

The Bookshop by the Beach
Summary
Libby Tebbit had absolutely had her fill of big-city life. So, when presented with the opportunity to take over her gran’s shop, The Bookshop by the Beach, she’d have been crazy to turn it down, right? Idyllic notions of lazy days by the ocean shore, shooing away the surplus eligible bachelors circling around her like squawking gulls, filled her head. These things were certain to await her, she felt confident, in this next glorious chapter of her life - this wonderful seaside adventure on the Isle of Man. Only her business acumen was about as useless as her choice in men. Still, nothing ventured nothing gained. And, besides, what’s the worst that could happen? Well, quite a lot as she’d soon discover. In a relatively short amount of time, a business that’d operated fairly successfully for 40 years was on its knees - and, sadly, Libby’s dance card was also emptier than her bank account. She wasn’t ready to let go of her dream so easily. Not just yet. All she needed, then, was a plan to turn around the ailing fortunes of The Bookshop by the Beach, and fast! The feel-good romantic-comedy listen for the summer. If you enjoy Sophie Kinsella or JoJo Moyes, then you'll adore this book.

Isle "Le Mans" TT
Summary
The gang is back for another crazy adventure. The idea of the maverick racer, Dave Quirk, winning a TT was as probable as a seaside donkey winning the Grand National... But he'd been trying to do exactly that. An unlikely victory would also secure the TT Farm for Frank and Stan’s charity, but it was a crumbling, financial black hole and filled with asbestos. Dave and Monty quitting their jobs to work there wasn’t fantastic timing, either. The charity needed a truckload of cash, and fast. They had to go big on their fundraising ideas, so, the Isle of Man - home of the famous TT Races - would play host to a 24-hour racing extravaganza and they’d need a high-profile celebrity for maximum exposure. The object of Stella’s darkest desire, Guy Martin, was kidnapped was willing and eager to offer his services for the inaugural Isle "Le Mans" TT. They were full of good intentions, but, as usual, the path was rarely smooth for Team Frank and Stan. Particularly when romance was also thrown into the mix....
