With nothing but a turquoise construction trailer to call her home, Ike invests her last quid and becomes partner in a tour company specialising in bespoke trips for book-lovers. When the guide hired to take on the first tour drops out at the last minute, Ike has to take over and steer her guests towards the cradle of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein".

To unearth the truth, Ike will have to cooperate with her moronic partner, Gary Sands, 13th Baron of Nettlehole and founder of LiteraTours. When they don't succeed in stopping the killer, she realises she'll have to take the plunge and draw on some rather unusual skills her family has been hiding from the world . . . "Frankenstein's Guide" is the first instalment in the "LiteraTours Cozy Mystery series". [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]] Cover designed by Ren T

While investigating the chilling deaths of three teenage girls in the remote town of Briarwood, Detective Evan O'Riley is drawn into the unsolved mysteries of a notorious 1960s serial killer. Three sixteen-year-old girls have plunged from the roof of their school. The question lingers: did they jump, or were they pushed? Tasked with uncovering the truth, Evan O'Riley-seasoned by years of crime-solving in Riverton-arrives in Briarwood, determined to discover whether he's facing triple homicide or a heartbreaking suicide. As he delves into the case, Evan uncovers unsettling whispers about the town's infamous SAD Killer, whose string of brutal murders left Briarwood haunted-and whose identity was never discovered. Fifty years later, the ghosts of the past resurface as Evan combs through long-buried evidence, tracks down survivors, and seeks out old investigators tied to the original crimes. Driven to find answers for both the present and the past, Evan is relentless in his pursuit of justice. But as old secrets come to light and the investigation intensifies, Evan realizes the SAD Killer's legacy isn't as distant as he believed-the danger may be closer than anyone imagines.

As time passed, a question passed through my mind, one the professor had asked and I shook my head to chase it away. But the longer it looked at me, two sharp and intelligent eyes of a creature in a black cloud, it began to back up, and the more it did, the more focused its entity was. Black flakes, neatly arranged, from small to big, branched out from between its' eyes to hardened rocks crossing above the eyes like eyebrows. But before it could move further away, I denied it, "No!" I exclaimed, thrusting a hand into the disc, shattering the liquid that drenched my head in a cool liquid, the bubble too then collapsed into droplets and pounded upon me like a waterfall. I was drenched, shivering initially, with a heavy weight added to my uniform. WARNING: Book is Complete but UNDERGOING Edits that can significantly add to the book, please understand it is with the best of intentions. <3
