Bøger i The Batch Magna Chronicles serien

Humph, a Brooklyn short-order cook who inherited the crumbling estate of Batch Hall, has married his true love and the future looks bright. But when badger baiters are discovered in Cutterbach Wood, they face the awful decision to sell up. And then Miss Wyndham, village spinster and amateur sleuth, rides to the rescue on the 49 bus...

Sir Humphrey is playing Father Christmas at the local hospital, but he won't be able to buy toys for the children. Meanwhile, a plan to attract paying guests to the Hall descends into chaos when actors playing a resident ghost spend too long in the pub. Events somehow work themselves out - in the most unexpected manner...

On changing trains near Batch Hall, two crooks on their way home from a wages snatch in Shrewsbury find matters starting to unravel. The money goes missing, and in the midst of a historical re-enactment show, a real gun takes its place among the replica firearms. As a result, the spectators find that there's an extra event on the programme.
