'Goodness, we're becoming like Oxford under Chief Inspector Morse. Bodies left, right and centre.' Bobby the Bobby
Brighton Probus Club members are stunned when a member of their club is found dead, sans trousers, behind the famous bathing boxes on Brighton beach. But there's more. A female member of the club has a blood-soaked corpse on her bed. Goodness.
In London, a high-flying civil servant in the Foreign Office Russian Department disappears. Kim Philby's love child? What has the missing Englishman got to do with the dead body Down Under? Are Russians roaming the posh pathways of Brighton?
Of course Victoria's homicide detectives, DI Righteous and DS Grace Richie Benaud, are on the job, but so too are the three members of PUDA, the Probus Unofficial Detective Agency-sisters Patricia and Jean and retired senior constable Robert, Bobby , Ayres.
In fact the amateurs are working overtime as they have their own cold case to solve. A teenage girl died in Eltham in 1974. Whodunit?
And to make PUDA's busy life even busier, one of their relatives is being stalked.
So many cases and creatures appear-murder, mysteries, cats, dogs, Yorkshire weather, and best of all, romance. Romance! Has a member of PUDA, one of those three pensioners, found true love? Hooley dooley!
