Sewer Mayhem by Annie Appleton

When an unobtrusive shop owner gets murdered, Jacob Hicks and Emily are drawn into solving the mystery. The situation grows worse when a horrible sewer smell starts spreading itself along Woolaston Road Road and into the shops. All this sends the chairman of the shop owners association into a panic, as he desperately wants things to get back to normal before the judges of a prestigious competition arrive.

Meanwhile Paddy the Rat and his pal Vinnie hope for a quiet holiday in the sewers under Woolaston Road, where they visit Vinnie's cousins Gus and Leo. Their peace is soon disturbed when a mysterious backpack full of treasure appears in the sewers, sending Gus into a frenzy. Of course the nefarious Rat Mafia soon has its eyes set on the treasure as well.

As Jacob's pal Dave tries to find the source of the sewer smell, Jacob and Emily delve deeper into the mystery of the murder, while fending off a nosey newcomer and dealing with a baffling string of seemingly unimportant burglaries.

Will Woolaston Road ever recover from all this?

Appleton, Annie: - Annie Appleton is an indie writer, who loves cats, baking and reading mysteries. On top of that Annie has done her fair share of knitting. This might class her as the stereotypical cosy mystery reader, if it weren't for the fact that Annie spent nine months of her life working on containerships and many a night looking at the sky in search for the International Space Station. In 2004, Annie was lucky enough to move to the English city of York, where she, like an amateur sleuth in a cosy mystery, ended up in a close-knit, but vibrant community. Annie soon fit in, thanks to a part-time job at the local deli and an allotment society vegetable plot. Having written two non-fiction books about York, Annie is now using her time in York as inspiration for her cosy mystery series, the Jacob Hicks Murder Mysteries, which centres around Jacob Hicks, local physics teacher and generally regarded as the 'village idiot', and Paddy the Rat, observer of all things human.
