Edge of the World Detective Agency

Donna Nightshade's first rule of composting: shred. Things rot quicker that way—cabbages, flowers, dead bodies... When Donna branches out from floristry to private investigation and opens The Edge of the World Detective Agency, the last thing she expects is to have a murder fall into her lap almost immediately. Now, normally she wouldn't be one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but there's one significant problem with the case—all the evidence points to Donna as the murderer! Donna may have hated the man, but she's not the only one who had the means and motive, so she dons her deerstalker. Staying two steps ahead of the police—specifically her ex, Detective Sergeant Joe Enys—won't be easy, but with pirate blood in her veins nothing can stop 'deadly' Donna from claiming her bounty and making the real culprit walk the plank!
