Synopsis

Spring is in the air in the seen-better-days seaside town of Seatoun. Easter is approaching and the weather is surprisingly mild, leading to a mini boom in the tourist industry. Vetch's Investigations is buzzing with clients and even Jan, the receptionist from hell, is busy - all of which is making Grace Smith feel particularly depressed because she's the only one without a client in sight. The situation has become so desperate that Grace has taken a job with the town Tourist Board. Dressed as the Easter Bunny, she's supposed to be promoting the town's 'child friendly' image. Unfortunately a series of encounters with kids who can't resist tormenting dumb creatures (albeit six feet tall ones with fluffy pink ears) results in Grace being the first bunny to be nicked for GBH in Seatoun. So when a woman named Della comes calling, and informs Grace that her son is receiving threatening letters and she wants someone to trace the sender, Grace accepts with alacrity. She lives - only just - to regret it most bitterly ...

Media Reviews
'Superb Seaside Noir. Useless but hilarious private dick Grace Smith is forced to swap the day job for an Easter Bunny costume, only to be nicked for GBH...' MIRROR 'If Janet Evanovich looks in her rear view mirrors she'll see Liz Evans coming up. ...a riot' PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH 'The story rushes along at a great pace, always interesting, always surprising and often laugh-out-loud funny... a great read even for those not usually attracted to the detective genre. However crime-lovers take note - this is a thoroughly good detective story which will keep you guessing till the very end' SHERLOCK MAGAZINE 'If you're looking for a strong female protagonist, an interesting plot or two, but with a feel-good factor and plenty of humour, look no further than CUE THE EASTER BUNNY ...one of the most enjoyable books I've read for a long time.' -- Bridget Bolton TANGLED WEB 'one of the most enjoyable books I've read for a long time.'
