'• WHO KILLED SIR GEORGE? Our amateur detectives come full circle when the mining magnate who united them is found murdered, his trusty assistant arrested - and with good reason. All the evidence points Verity Vine's way, and at least one sleuth thinks she's guilty.

'Yet there are so many delicious suspects to choose from, especially when another prime suspect shows up murdered.

'• WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO KILA'S SISTER? While the sleuths explore two fresh crimes, renegade gumshoe Kila is busy with a cold case of his own. He's just learned the monster who killed his sister, Chili, on a Tinder date may be innocent, and the culprit could still be out there.

'What's worse, Kila's just found a connection to two seemingly unrelated deaths...' (Publication summary)

'OUR "SUPER SLEUTHS" ARE BACK. This time they’ve got 3 days to find a woman missing at a luxury beachside suburb, where the coffee’s overpriced and the locals suspiciously friendly.

'Police say the case is open-and-shut. The heir to a massive fortune, Heath Burlington, slaughters his parents, confesses to the crimes, then turns the gun on himself. Heath's grandfather says, "Not so fast." With the case now closed, Sir George assembles his own crack team of detectives—five amateur sleuths with a nose for mystery and a need to prove themselves—then pits them against each other to solve it.

'THE IMPOSSIBLE MYSTERY: "Prove Heath's innocence and you get $1 million each. The sleuth who makes the biggest breakthrough scores a bonus million. The sleuth who does the least gets nothing." They have just two weeks.'
