Alison Wonderland

By Helen Smith

Alison gave up her boring nine to five job in order to become a private detective. Now her working life is mostly spent in office, from nine to five, spying on unfaithful husbands. That is, until Project Brown Dog comes along.

Somewhere on the coast of England, rumours have arisen of the sinister genetic crossbreeding of unsuspecting animal species, and it is Alison that has been assigned to investigate the truth. Alison and her friend, Taron, travel from London to Weymouth and back, and are rocked by a shocking discovery.

This is a feel-good novel, and a book that will make you smile and maybe even feel better about yourself just for who you are. One good reason to read it! The story is part adventure and part dissertation on anything and everything from psychic postmen, Japanese knotweed to why women with great bodies wear the chunkiest bikinis.
