First Things First is the first of the crime and mystery series, Jane Hetherington’s Adventures in Detection, introducing us for the first time to the 63 year-old private detective, Jane Hetherington.
The novel opens in an old farmhouse, home to the first people to instruct private detective Jane Hetherington, in her first month in business. They want Jane to discover who broke into their wall safe, not to steal the substantial sum already there, but to leave more money behind.
A tramp comes to the library each morning to watch the street below with a pair of binoculars. The librarian doesn't like to pry, but would like to know why? Is he suspicious of his wife? A compiler of number plates? Jane thinks not. She thinks it’s all really very simple.
Felicity ‘borrowed’ her future mother-in-law’s jewellery (without asking or telling anyone) and hid it in a locked room in a house full of people. Somehow it’s been stolen. Can Jane retrieve it before its owner returns from holiday?
Sam who wants to know what, or rather who, her wealthy boyfriend is suddenly so preoccupied with. She knows it isn’t her!
Dawn Gray, suspecting her son is being bullied and refusing to believe his teachers’ assurances to the contrary, asks Jane to prove her suspicions. It's a decision they'll both regret.
As the novel progresses, Jane finally uncovers the truth behind her near neighbour’s disappearance.
available from all Amazon sites (e-book & paperback).
