Synopsis
Esmie knows she wants to be a detective when she grows up - just like her dad. And now is the perfect time to start honing her investigative skills. First of all there`s the mystery disappearance of Esmie`s brother`s girlfriend`s mum (interestingly complicated! ) . Could she still be alive? Or does a vital clue lie beneath the soil of the local allotment? Even more importantly, Esmie is worried that her dad still hasn`t proposed to his girlfriend, Lizzie. After all, Esmie went to enough trouble to act as match-maker for them! Then Esmie discovers that something very strange is going on - Lizzie is having a secret rendezvous with a mysterious man when she is supposed to be at work. What on earth is Lizzie`s secret - and can Esmie find a way to make sure her new `mum` and dad stay together forever?

From AudioFile
In the sequel to THE MUM HUNT, Kelly Hunter gives voice to 12-year-old Esmie and her blended familyâ including her older brother, Matthew; her father, a police inspector; and dad's girlfriend, Lizzie. Esmie, who is planning to be a detective like her father, launches a search for the mother of Matthew's girlfriend, who disappeared some years earlier. The teenagers concoct wild suppositions of murder. Esmie also spies upon Lizzie, whom she drew into her father's life in the first novel with the help of a former nanny, who makes a few phone appearances in this production in Hunter's delightfully stagy French accent. Hunter's blithe English accent amuses and beguiles as she unveils the complications wrought by the well-intentioned Esmie.
