'She takes far too many risks

When it comes to cracking crime, Kerry Godliman's fun, foodie sleuth has definitely come out of her shell

There’s danger from the off too, as Pearl goes chasing her suspect through the woods as she closes in on solving her another mystery.

“She nearly gets clobbered with a spade,” says Kerry. “She's always putting herself in danger. She's running around, taking far too many risks, and being very brave.”

Tailing her targets is a big part of Pearl's job as a private investigator, but her pale blue 1987 Citroën is a tad too conspicuous for Pearl to go incognito. “I love that car,” says Kerry. “It’s a nightmare to drive because it is a tin can on wheels, but it's iconic now so we're stuck with it.”
