Genre: Mystery/Thriller







3. The Carlson Assignment - After nearly a year, Joan Markham Donaldson is ready to start welcoming guests again to the bed and breakfast, Doveby House, which she owns with her sister, Janet. Janet Markham Bennett is far less excited about the idea, so she’s quick to agree to another assignment from the mysterious and unfriendly Mr. Jones.
?Layce Carlson has disappeared, and Mr. Jones is convinced that someone inside the luxury mansion where Layce was staying is behind the disappearance. A hastily constructed cover story sees Janet pretending to be a French tutor, come to help Layce’s father’s wife learn some French for an upcoming movie role. Edward has a cover story of his own and the pair must, once again, pretend to be strangers.?
Can Janet and Edward work out who is behind Layce’s disappearance before the ransom is due to be paid? Can Janet actually teach Bryanca B. any French? And after Janet’s cat, Aggie, insisted on coming along, how much trouble will she cause??
5. The Everest Assignment - When a retired Hollywood actor starts getting threatening letters, Janet Markham Bennett, retired teacher, and her husband, Edward Bennett, retired spy, are sent to investigate. Benjamin Everest may have quit acting, but he’s also about to embark on a whirlwind publicity tour, and Janet and Edward have to go along for the ride.
Benjamin gave up his career to settle in a country house in Yorkshire with his wife, Josephine. Now it seems as if someone wants him to go back to work, and that someone is threatening Josephine’s life if Benjamin refuses. Benjamin doesn’t want Josephine to know about the letters, which complicates the matter. As time goes by, it starts to seem increasingly likely that someone in Benjamin’s entourage is responsible for the letters, which keeps Janet and Edward on full alert.
Can Janet and Edward keep Josephine safe as the Hollywood super couple spend time promoting a London museum exhibit and then fly to New York City for the opening of a Broadway show? Can they work out who actually has a reason to want Benjamin to go back to work? And can Janet find a way to get out of sitting through the grand opening of Xosis Man: The Musical?
6. The Farnsley Assignment - Janet Markham Bennett is just starting to feel as if she’s getting used to her part-time job with her husband Edward’s top-secret government agency. Their next assignment is something a bit different, though. This time the agency is sending them to the Bahamas to spend a weekend on a private island. Instead of being given a specific job to do, they’re simply asked to keep their eyes open while they’re there.
In spite of the rather vague assignment, neither Janet nor Edward is expecting their host, Arthur Farnsley, to get murdered within hours of their arrival on the island. To Janet it seems as if there are far too many suspects but no clear motive.
Can Janet and Edward work out who killed Arthur? Does his death have anything to do with the reason they’ve been sent to Farntopia? And can Janet maintain her cover for the entire weekend, even though that means acting nasty and spoiled all the time?
7. The George Assignment - Janet and Edward are enjoying life in Doveby Dale, planning their carriage house remodel, when Mr. Jones arrives with a new and rather urgent assignment. Another agent has disappeared. While there are any number of possible explanations for the disappearance, none of them are good.
As Janet and Edward follow the missing man's trail from Edinburgh to Paris to Berlin, it begins to seem as if he’s disappeared by choice, which raises a number of other worrying possibilities.
Has the agent been taken or has he disappeared voluntarily? Are Janet and Edward walking into a trap? And is this going to be their most dangerous assignment yet?
8. The Hamilton Assignment - Edward and Janet are enjoying themselves in London when they are given their next assignment. This one sounds simple enough. All they need to do is get inside a museum after hours and exchange some buttons on display for another, seemingly identical set.
Of course, nothing is as easy as it seems when it comes to top-secret assignments. There’s only one hotel in the tiny Pennsylvania town where they’re staying, and Janet and Edward haven’t been there long before they discover that things aren’t what they appear to be at the Craterstown Hotel.
Can Janet and Edward get the buttons exchanged before the museum shuts for a two-year remodel? Can they work out what’s really happening at the Craterstown Hotel? And does Janet truly want to ride a roller coaster for the first time?
9. The Ingram Assignment - Janet is happy to be back in Doveby Dale, under the same roof as her sister, Joan. The arrangement is only temporary, as Janet and her husband, Edward, are planning to move out to the carriage house on the grounds of the bed and breakfast that Joan and Janet own. Still, after several exciting months travelling all over the world on various assignments for a top-secret government agency, Janet is looking forward to some rest and relaxation.
The agency has other plans, of course. Now that Janet has shown herself to be a valuable asset to the agency, it’s been decided that she needs some formal training. Having spent some weeks learning the basics in London, now that they’re in Doveby Dale, the agency has a few training assignments for Janet. They’re meant to be simple exercises, designed to test her skills, but the very first one goes badly wrong.
Now Janet and Edward have to do whatever they can to try to rescue what’s becoming a complicated situation. In the meantime, Janet has two more assignments to get through, and she may not be able to manage them without asking her sister for help.
10. The Jacobs Assignment - Janet and Edward are enjoying a break between assignments from the top-secret government agency for which they work. Their friend, Eugenie Snelling, is paying a visit to Doveby House, and they are both looking forward to seeing her again. But Eugenie brings a friend with her, a friend who needs a special favour.
Eugenie is confident that Janet and Edward can help, but things quickly get considerably more complicated. Finding a dead body is bad enough. When the short list of suspects includes the mother of one of Janet’s friends, Janet is determined to do what she can to help find the killer.
When Edward’s handler from the agency, Mr. Jones, arrives, he has his own ideas about the investigation. Janet and Edward need to stay out of his way and work quickly if they’re going to discover who killed Ted Perkins and help Eugenie’s friend.
