Patricia Fisher's Mystery Adventures - A Ten Book Boxed Set (Patricia Fisher's Big Boxed Sets 2) Kindle Edition

4.8 out of 5 stars 5,262 ratings

Amazon.com #1 in Cozy Mystery, Mystery Anthologies, and Amateur Sleuths
‘A complete cozy mystery series with an ending that left me on a high for days!’


Indulge yourself with a mystery-packed boxed-set of adventure as English village sleuth, Patricia Fisher, opens her own investigations agency and finds herself hip-deep in criminal capers before she can butter her first scone.

With her steady butler in tow, our modern-day Miss Marple will apply her fierce mind to the detriment of gangsters, thugs, and killers who dare to ply their trade in her quiet corner of the world.

However, beneath the cricket teas and church council meetings, a more sinister undercurrent flows. And when Patricia inadvertently triggers the wrath of a powerful enemy, she finds herself marked for elimination. They believe they are the snake cornering the small furry animal. Patricia doesn’t stand a chance, right?

Well, normally that might be true, but our lady has friends of her own – people who will come to her aid when she needs. That’s not the worst of it though, for the snake is about to find out the furry creature it cornered is a mongoose.

Hold onto your seat, because these cozy mysteries are an adventure!

This ten-book boxed set contains the following stories:
What Sam Knew
Solstice Goat
Recipe for Murder
A Banshee and a Bookshop
Diamonds, Dinner Jackets, and Death
Frozen Vengeance
Mug Shot
The Godmother
Murder is an Artform
Wonderful Weddings and Deadly Divorces

'My goodness, this chap can write a mystery. I can never work them out before he does the big reveal, and they are so gripping! I find myself breathless at times.’
‘How is it that these books can be so thrilling, and yet also so funny? I am biting my fingernails one minute, then laughing uncontrollably the next.’
‘How is this not on television? How is this not a blockbuster film? Never has a series of books captivated me like this.’

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When Steve Higgs wrote his debut novel, Paranormal Nonsense, he was a captain in the British Army. He would like to pretend that he had one of those careers that must be blacked out and generally denied by the government, and that he has to change his name and move constantly because he is still on the watch list in several countries. In truth, though, he started out as a mechanic - not like Jason Statham in the film by that name, sneaking around as a hitman, but more like one of those sleazy guys who charges a fortune and keeps your car for a week even though the only thing you went in for was a squeaky door hinge.

At school, he was largely disinterested in all subjects except creative writing, for which he won his first prize at the age of ten. However, calling it the first prize he won suggests that there were other prizes, which is not the case. Awards may yet come, but in the meantime, he enjoys writing mystery and thriller novels and claims to have more than a hundred books forming a restless queue in his mind because they are desperate to be written.

Now retired from the military, he lives in southeast England with a duo of lazy sausage dogs. Surrounded by rolling hills, brooding castles, and vineyards, he doubts he'll ever leave, the beer is just too good.

    This series kept me reading day after day, sometimes hour after hour. The plot twists are fun, the characters clearly distinct and wonderfully complete, either likable or despicable. There is a bit of the super hero, people able to do things that are quite over the top. For me, this added to the fun of it all. The relationships are clear, the action constant and kept my eyes glued to the page. I simply didn't want to stop reading.

    I love these books! Such fun reads. I enjoy reading about her friends, even the police, who love to 'hate' her.
    They can be hard to put down and I find myself staying awake late into the to just get to the next chapter. 😆
    I want to thank the author managed to write several successful books without profanity. And I'm going to widen out and read some of Mr. Higgs other books.
