Gareth and Louise Ward have written a witty debut novel, The Bookshop Detectives ‘Dead Girl Gone’. It follows the adventures of husband-and-wife owners Garth and Eloise, along with their petrified pooch, Stevie, who run the Sherlock Tomes bookshop in small-town Havelock North, New Zealand. When a mysterious parcel arrives at their bookshop, they find themselves entangled in the baffling case of a decades-old missing schoolgirl.
