At the Wings & Co. Fairy Detective Agency, Emily Vole and her friends are beginning to worry. It's five months since their official opening and they still haven't had one case. Then local landowner Sir Walter Cross dies suddenly and mysteriously. The detectives suspect fairy meddling. And when Mr Rollo the tailor mysteriously loses everything and Pan Smith's wedding plans are ruined the night before her big day, they're convinced there must be magic at play. Now they have not one, but three pickled herrings to deal with! Can they solve the mystery of who is stealing people's luck before the meddling fairy goes too far?

Critic reviews

Absolutely charming
Wonderfully imaginative, full of quirky humour and delightfully illustrated
Gardner's riotous fantasy world includes a multitude of charmingly unlikely characters
A quirky and whimsical read, illustrated with suitably strange and wonderful line drawings. Its oddball protagonists are engaging and it has the feel of an otherworld screwball comedy
Garner is a highly talented storyteller ... charmingly anarchic
Very mysterious ... very funny
Eventful, fast-paced

I rarely listen to anything more than once but these stories are just wonderful. The writing, the characters, the adventures and the brilliant narration make these a pure delight. I listen before bed to put me to sleep. Why shouldn't adults get stories read to them at bed time? I highly recommend these. I hope there are more coming.

These are marvelous stories
