Best friends Paige and Sophie will soon graduate with PhDs in psychology. But before they start thinking about what the future holds, a break! They take up an invitation to stay at a beautiful holiday home in the Coromandel, both excited for a week of cocktails, barbecues, walks along the beach and chilling out.

But when they meet the people staying next door—a fading American actress, her devoted husband, and her nervous assistant—things get interesting.

Faced with a slew of curious events, Paige and Sophie start wondering what’s going on.
And when things take a more sinister turn, they race figure things out before it’s too late.

Squirrel & Swan Curious Things is the prequel novella to the S & S Investigations Series but can be enjoyed at any time.

Paige and Sophie accept the offer of 2 weeks in a holiday home in coastal New Zealand. The only problems are the strange people next door and the stranger noises at night.

Sophie wants a holiday but Paige is happy to have a mystery instead.

Just a quiet holiday!

A quick little read. This prequel tells us how squirrel & swan investigations got started. I’ve really enjoyed all the following books in this series, and I’d love to see another one some day soon.
