Windy Mountain Tasmanian Tiger #1-3
Different Stripes: The first three funny mysteries in the Windy Mountain Tasmanian Tiger series
1. WHO KNEW TASMANIAN TIGERS EAT APPLES!
This novel has revenge like you have probably never seen, dealt up by a Tasmanian Tiger tracker who doesn't really want to deal it. The Tasmanian Tiger tracker tangles with a greedy mayor who believes no one can tell him what to do with an apple orchard that was handed down from his great, great, great grandfather, who was a tyrant who struck fear into the hearts of Irish convicts under his command. This book is set in the early 1990s. 2. LIE OF THE TIGER
Dogged determination is required if the two octogenarians are to “prove” the existence of the Tasmanian Tiger. That’s not good news for a third old man who has the only legal dog in town, but stuff him. Oodles and Wish-Wash have good reason not to like The Mayor anyway and if he won't help, they are prepared to break the law. They simply have to help the mysterious Irishman who arrives to become the new manager of the Windy Mountain Tasmanian Tiger Museum, only to find it in an appalling state after the previous manager left the building in a coffin, and further discover the dodgy owners don’t actually want him to succeed anyway. 3. BLOKES ON A PLANE
Two old-age pensioners go from being unlikely tourists to unlikely sleuths when the former mayor disappears and someone starts stealing landmarks in Windy Mountain. These octogenarians are supposed to be planning their trip to Ireland to retrace family roots. But it's time to break out the walkie-talkies and cow-camouflage trousers.

First book started blaspheming, gave a miss. It's a pity as the second book was well written and entertaining; but blasphemed at end, which was unnecessary in the context. Maybe use strewth or goodness could have been used. Gave third book a miss as well as spoils the whole story when author shows disrespect for our Lord Jesus Christ.
