Odd ball duo solves crimes in Stratford-upon-Avon

SHAKESPEARE & HATHAWAY PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS - NEW SERIES STARTS TUESDAY MAY 7TH AT 9PM FOLLOWING DEATH IN PARADISE.

Private inspector Frank Hathaway has always worked alone. However, Frank is not doing so well. He is out of shape and low on cash. Frank needs a partner. Frank needs ex-hairdresser and people-person Lu. He just does not know it yet. The two eventually join forces and form a highly unlikely and hugely entertaining detecting duo. Frank and Lu quickly discover that not all is as peaceful as it seems in their pretty theatre town. The mayor is murdered, vengeful lovers stalk the streets and a magician's trick fatally misfires.

Shakespeare & Hathaway
Shakespeare & Hathaway Private Investigators

A Brave New World - Things aren't looking good for ex-cop Frank Hathaway: his detective agency is in dire financial straits and cases are thin on the ground. So when a sobbing Lu Shakespeare appears in his office, he sees a solution to his cash flow worries. Lu hires Frank to spy on her fiancé, whom she thinks is having an affair. Fortunately for Lu, it turns out her soon-to-be husband is not cheating on her. The bad news, however, is that he’s not who she thinks he is, and he ends up murdered about an hour after the “I do’s.”  With Lu needing a new challenge after she helps Frank solve the murder, the two join forces and form an unlikely detective duo in Stratford-upon-Avon, where low-life criminals seem to go for high crime drama.
