Alice has made the most of her maternity leave, becoming simultaneously a proud mum (well, a mum, at least) and accidental amateur sleuth. With her son, Jack, fast approaching his first birthday, she is keen to continue to keep him alive and maybe finally catch up on some sleep ... if she's lucky. When an opportunity presents itself in the unexpected form of a sit-in protest, Alice and her friends willingly chain themselves to trees and settle in for some overdue rest - not the most comfortable arrangement ever, but at this point they'll take what they can get.
But the next morning one of their fellow protestors is found strangled and any hope of a blissful interlude is suddenly swept away on a tide of adult hysteria involving rogue artists, an enigmatic local entrepreneur and nude protesting (optional) - a surprising, but not necessarily unwelcome, break from changing nappies and cleaning Weetabix off the dog. For Alice, whose success rate in solving countryside murder is at an all-time high (one out of one), she cannot resist the chance to demonstrate her detectoring skills once more and assembles her gang of young mums to investigate this latest countryside mystery.

      Ailes follows up The Expectant Detectives with another spirited cozy that finds new mother Alice and her friends investigating a climate protestor’s murder. One afternoon, Alice and her fellow postnatal sleuths Hen, Alisa, and Poppy are picnicking in a Cotswolds meadow when two naked environmentalists approach. The activists inform the women that a nearby thicket of 500-year-old chestnut is set to be razed to make room for a wind farm sponsored by the green energy company Aether. Each of the friends—except Hen, who’s recently begun working as a personal assistant for Aether’s CEO—readily agree to chain themselves to the chestnut trees in protest. The next day, Alice returns to the meadow and discovers one of the protesters strangled to death, with her arms still chained to the tree she was protecting. The friends agree to rejoin forces and launch an investigation. Soon, they turn up a web of deadly rivalries that places suspicion on activists, artists, and executives alike. Ailes once again marries quick wit, surprising reveals, and charming antics from Alice’s dog, Helen. This series has all the ingredients for a long and satisfying run.
