Jacob Hicks Murder Mysteries #3
Peanuts!
Paddy the Rat and his cousin Vinnie are due for a holiday. Visiting family in the sewers under Woolaston Road looks like a peaceful plan. But their journey is interrupted when they stumble over their enemies, the grey squirrels, plotting a treasure heist at the Fox & Glove Pub on Milbury Green.
When the leader of the Greys reveals he might have to pester Paddy’s old friend Carl for more information about the treasure, Paddy is determined to warn his pal and stick around to help Carl get rid of the bushy-tailed burglars. But things go from bad to worse when Carl’s son is kidnapped by the Greys, and Paddy, Vinnie, and Carl are forced to scramble to rescue him from their clutches.
With a rat trapped in a pinball machine, a landlord determined to rid the place of furry invaders and a simple-minded squirrel who can’t resist the allure of the peanuts in the pub, will Paddy and Vinnie ever make it to Woolaston Road for their well-deserved holiday?

About the author
Annie Appleton
3 books3 followersI’m Annie Appleton, author of cosy mysteries with a twist.
My books blend my love for mysteries, animals and the slightly surreal in a humorous style. I realise there are talking rats in my books, but I firmly believe in my readers’ ability to suspend their disbelieve.
I love cats, baking and reading mysteries. I’ve also done my fair share of knitting. Besides that I have spent nine months of my life working on containerships and many a night looking at the sky in search for the International Space Station.
In 2004, I was lucky enough to move to the English City of York, where I ended up in a close-knit, but vibrant community. I soon fit in, thanks to a part-time job at the local deli and an allotment society vegetable plot.
I’m now back in my native Netherlands, where I live with my three little rats, a garden that’s occasionally full of weeds and a pond filled with frogs and newts.
Having written two non-fiction books about York, I’m is now using my time in York as inspiration for my cosy mystery books.
The first series centres around Jacob Hicks, local physics teacher and generally regarded as the ‘village idiot’, and Paddy the Rat, observer of all things human.
