Wilson and Jarvis Book #2: The Case of The Missing Beer Mat

By Alex Parnell

A beer mat has gone missing. The village may never recover.

In the quiet Norfolk village of Alder's Fen, pub politics are sacred, tradition is law, and nothing - nothing - disrupts the peace like a stolen Guinness '98 beer mat.

To landlady Tracie Ashford, it's not just a mat. It's legacy. It's laminated. It's blessed. And now it's gone.

Enter DI Matthew Wilson and DS Lee Jarvis - two detectives better known for sarcasm than sleuthing - who must track down the thief before karaoke night descends into full-blown chaos. But what starts as a laughable pub prank soon spirals into a mess of false leads, ghost stories, local conspiracies, and an exorcism involving a mint tea blessing and a haunted jukebox.

Can Wilson and Jarvis restore balance to The Hare & Barrel? Or will the village lose its most sacred square of cardboard forever?

A brilliantly funny, quintessentially British mystery - packed with pub banter, rural chaos, and low-stakes drama treated with high-level seriousness.

Perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Midsomer Murders, and anyone who's ever taken quiz night a bit too seriously.
