Another sad thing is that some people who read such things, or see films with animal cruelty might get some ideas.

The books by Alexander McCall Smith that you mention Barbara, I'll definately check out! Can you recommend one of the series rather than another?

Start with the first one. It's called something like The No1 ladies' detective agency. They are not really thrillers. But the mysteries are all solved and they are absolutely cute.
