The stories of the TV series starring Patricia Routledge.
On Hetty's sixtieth birthday, she knew the last thing she wanted to do was settle down to life as a tranquil Senior Citizen. So instead she became a private detective. Not immediately - she began behind the counter of a Sub Post Office, but one thing leads to another and natural talent can't be kept down. Hetty started with Pension Fraud and worked up.
Here are the stories of Hetty's first cases tackled with her husband Robert and her doughty teenage assistant Geoff. No consulting rooms in Baker Street, no Poirot moustache. Hetty lives in a village and goes sleuthing on the pillion of a scooter. But she gets there!
