As the Easter weekend approaches, feline detectives Hettie Bagshot and Tilly Jenkins are called to investigate the murder of local radio DJ Hartley Battenberg. Bowled over by the prospect of a bake-off competition, a cricket match and an outdoor screening of The Sound of Music, Hettie and Tilly struggle through a sea of trifle to catch out a killer. Will Bunty Basham’s eleven be triumphant? Has Whisker FM played its final jingle? And will celebrity cook Fanny Haddock get her just desserts? Join them as they tune in to a world of blackmail, obsession and murderous pies. What people are saying about The No. 2 Feline Detective Agency: ’This series is the perfect warm, fluffy cosy mystery read for fans of Agatha Crispy-style mysteries and cat-lovers alike.’ ‘True escapism into a world of pies, cakes and cats while somehow smuggling a truer reflection of the real world than much human detective fiction.’ ‘A deceptively nasty murder wrapped up in a cardigan, and served by the fire with tea and cake. A delight from beginning to end.’ ‘Hilarious and captivating.’ ‘The cat world’s answer to the cosy crime novel, with bags of charm and characters you don’t want to leave behind.’ ‘I love this series and am waiting with a warmed pastry, a hot mug of something, and a crackling fire for the next in the series.’ Editorial reviews: ‘Original and intriguing... a world without people which cat lovers will enter and enjoy.’ P. D. James ‘I loved it. The whole concept is just so “real”!’ Barbara Erskine ‘Mandy Morton’s Feline Detective Agency instigates a new genre, both wonderful and surreal.’ Maddy Prior ‘The world that Morton has created is irresistible.’ Publishers Weekly ‘Witty and smart. Prepare to be besotted.’ M.K. Graff ‘Mandy Morton’s series is both charming and whimsical.’ Barry Forshaw ‘Hettie Bagshot might be a new face at the scene of a crime, but already she could teach most fictional detectives a thing or two.’ The Hunts Post

Ever tried a Turkish borek? Swedish kroppkakor? How about Cajun meat pie? Acclaimed photographer Brian Yarvin has traveled to neighborhood kiosks, festivals, and restaurants in ethnic neighborhoods throughout the northeastern United States to bring more than 100 traditional dumpling and filled-pie recipes from places as near as Flushing, Queens, to as far away as Uzbekistan and beyond. Starting with the basics of dough making, steaming, and frying, Yarvin provides mouthwatering color photographs and step-by-step instructions so that anyone can recreate their grandmother's pierogi or street-food favorite at home, using ingredients from the local supermarket. Also included are tips for where to buy hard-to-find ingredients, and—if you just can't stand the wait of making your own—ethnic neighborhoods where you can find ready-to-eat dumplings.
