Available in EPUB, MOBI, and PDF formats. Read on your Kindle, phone, tablet, computer and more

A new Cozy Mystery series of novellas from Kate Darroch, holder of 15 international book awards including the Readers Favorite Gold Medal for Comedy and the Incipere Awards for Best Christian Fiction and Best Clean Mystery. Written in Darroch's inimitable humorous first person narrator style, each Quick Read focuses on the title case, but also more and more details of Hunt's life unfold with each case. In some ways these stories are more like a serial. Retired from Her Majesty's secret service in his mid-30s, Hunt has had enough of life in the fast lane. Residing in the quiet English village of Upper Shrewsbury, with catastrophe-proofed private income, he asks little beyond peace and quiet. But former associates keep interrupting lazy afternoons spent in his local, the Bird in Nest, or at Newmarket racecourse. People pester him help them, and Hunt hates to say 'No'. Saying 'Yes' to a seemingly innocuous search for a missing puppy turns his whole world upside down, for he meets the kind of woman he never even dreamt of - 23 years older than he is, and as young as Spring. Can Hunt win Sophia's love? Or will his mistress always be Lady Luck?
