(Harking back to the panel mentioned above, it seems that there is a very large adult readership of YA fiction now). It's fiction written for readers around the same age as the two central characters, but it's also very accessible for adults.

Rachel Watts and James Mycroft (with an obvious hat tip to Sherlock Holmes going on). After all, a lot of firmly welded on crime fiction readers would have progressed straight from the likes of Trixie Belden, Famous Five and the Hitchcock mysteries straight to Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh and the like (allowing for the age category into which the reader falls obviously).ĮVERY BREATH is crime fiction based around two teenage protagonists. It came as a mild surprise that this is now a special category, but it is particularly pleasing to know there are some YA Crime Fiction books popping up. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.At the recent Ballarat Writers / Sisters in Crime collaboration, DEATH IN JULY, one of the panels was on YA writing and books. Watts and Mycroft are back in another crime-fighting romance and this time they may not make it out alive. Can Watts and Mycroft stay one step ahead of the smartest of all criminal masterminds? The stage is set for a showdown of legendary proportions.

Things get worse for Rachel when Harris returns to Melbourne with them - but could Harris be the only person who can help her move forward? Then a series of murders suggests that Mr Wild is still hot on their tails and that Mycroft has something Wild wants - something Wild is prepared to kill for. Unfortunately it's not the quiet weekend she was hoping for with the unexpected company of Mike's old school buddy, the wildly unreliable Harris Derwent. So when Rachel's brother, Mike, suggests a trip back to their old home in Five Mile, Rachel can't wait to get away. She just wants to forget the whole ordeal, but her boyfriend, James Mycroft, is obsessed with piecing the puzzle together and anticipating the next move of the mysterious Mr Wild - his own personal Moriarty. Rachel Watts is suffering from recurring nightmares about her near-death experience in London.
