A Case of Double Depth (Donald & Gamble Mystery #4) Release Date: October 3, 2026

Coming Soon

When retired church verger Len Hales is found dead beside a grave in St. Michael’s churchyard, the scene appears to tell a straightforward story. An elderly man, tending flowers as he always did, lost his footing on wet ground, and had a bad fall.
But the flowers are still in their wrapper, the gardening gloves are clean and clutched in Len’s hand is a torn fragment of paper.

For Katie Donald and Flutter Gamble (former local newspaper owner, ex-convict, and Waterbury’s most unlikely detective duo) the questions soon begin to multiply. Why has Len spent fifty years making sure that the grave he was tending in the older part of the churchyard is never, under any circumstances, disturbed? Why was Len’s financial life quietly unravelling? And what does his nephew Adrian, a chartered accountant with impeccable manners and a practice that has been haemorrhaging money, actually know?

As Katie and Flutter work two mysteries at once, one rooted in the present, one buried half a century deep, they find themselves navigating parish archives, reluctant witnesses, a vicar who asks better questions than most detectives, and the increasingly impatient attention of DS Bright.

All the clues are there. Len made sure of that. But can the mystery be unravelled?

A Case of Double Depth is the fourth book in the Second Chance Detective Agency series, a British cozy mystery that combines Golden Age fair-play plotting with warm, witty characters and the kind of dry humour that flourishes best in small English market towns. Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Janice Hallett, and Richard Coles.
