Local schoolteacher Dev Hooper arrives home from work to find his girlfriend, Nellie Thorne, has vanished.
But she's not the first Nellie Thorne to disappear. In fact, she's the fifth in fifty years.
Enter Jane Pye and Simon Mash: a millennial couple who signed up for a private detective night class on a whim. When they're assigned Dev's case for their coursework, they quickly realise they’ve bitten off more than they can chew.
Armed with just six weeks of notes, matching trench coats, and questionable detective skills, they set out to solve a case that has baffled Kent's police for decades.
What links the missing Nellies? And why does everyone keep talking about ghosts!?
Is it an open and shut case? Not on your Nellie…

#2 - The Murder Mystery Mystery
His predecessor died in a freak accident less than two weeks ago, adding to a disturbing pattern: every actor who’s taken on the role has either disappeared, quit, or died. Nervous cast members are starting to call it The Butler’s Curse.
Luckily, The Pie & Mash Detective Agency are on the scene.
With a serious lack of cases, and tension building in their relationship, Simon has whisked Jane away for a mini break which is getting less relaxing by the minute.
Will they crack the case of the 'curse'? Finish the murder mystery they paid several hundred pounds to play? And possibly even…solve their first murder?
