"From million-copy bestselling author David Walliams comes his first ever murder mystery – with thrills, spills and laughs galore. A Waterstones Best Children's Book of the Year
Dilly loves a good murder. Not a REAL murder. A made-up murder. One you would find in a murder-mystery novel.
Sherlock Holmes is her favourite detective. She even named her dog Watson after his faithful companion, and trained him to sniff out clues and follow trails.
So far, Dilly and Watson haven’t cracked many cases – beyond lost cats, or missing biscuits that turned out to have been eaten all along.
But now the detective duo find themselves on a luxury ocean liner bound for London. A thousand passengers. A thousand miles of ocean around them. It's the perfect place for a murder…
Or two. Or three. Or four. Or MORE!"

Gold Medal Winner at the New York Festivals Radio Awards for Best Ensemble Audiobook.
On a dark and stormy night …
Two ghost-hunting journalists arrive at the most haunted house in Britain – the Hollow Hotel. They’re here to interview the Dark King of television magic, Romeo Gideon.
Instead, they discover the body of a murdered man hanging from the rafters – the work of a killer who wields actual magic as viciously as he does his blade. With the storm closing in, all exit routes cut off, and the killer taking them out one by one, their only hope lies with the two mysterious Irish detectives who seem quite at home with all this bloodshed …
Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain have only hours to figure out who the killer is in a hotel filled with the tortured spirits of the dead, the anguished wails of the dying, and the relentless whines of the living.
Exciting, standalone audio – including characters not featured in the podcast"
