The Bone Ranger, Louisa's new, hilarious, dog detective novel, is her latest cozy mystery.
Mystery author, Louisa Bennet, studied Literature at the University of London and went on to learn Canine Linguistics from her golden retriever, Pickles, which is how she discovered what dogs really get up to when we’re not around. Truth be told, Pickles came up with the story for the Monty And Sidebottom Mysteries, and Louisa just transcribed it.

Louisa also writes thrillers as L.A. Larkin and divides her time between London and Sydney. She runs courses on crime fiction and creative writing. Pickles runs courses on wee-mailing, duck toppling and drool management.
