No Good Deed: Stories from Pelican Reach
By Mel Charles
Length1h 26m
About this audiobook
What could possibly go wrong in a peaceful retirement village on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast? At Pelican Reach, quite a lot.
A precise retired engineer. A missing jar of marmalade. A sabotaged croquet match.
Settle in for a collection of warm, witty, short cozy mysteries where small mysteries reveal larger truths, and where Ted, Shirley, Arthur, and Specs the border collie prove that sharp eyes, steady nerves, and a well-timed cup of tea can still set the world right.
Perfect for listeners who enjoy gentle puzzles, clever retirees, coastal Queensland atmosphere, and mysteries that leave you smiling rather than sleepless.
Return to Pelican Reach, where no good deed stays simple for long.
