Homicide & Seek
Homicide and Seek is a comedy fiction podcast about Laura Smith, a full-time barista who believes she is a private investigator—with a laminated homemade ID card. On the island of Gorsemoor, she works at Neptune Café with her best friend Orla and the awkward Arron, but whenever something unusual happens—from thefts to disappearances to murder—Laura immediately inserts herself into the investigation, whether she is qualified or not.
Each episode is a standalone, absurd mystery set in the eccentric world of Gorsemoor, where Laura’s chaotic detective work turns every case into escalating comedy, and strange incidents are just part of everyday life.

Laura is hired to investigate a strange case involving architect Andrew Farquharson, who has been receiving mysterious pineapple pizzas from an anonymous source for the past 15 years. The constant deliveries have left him unable to work and the police have little interest in the case. Laura interviews Andrew’s family and does her best to make sense of the bizarre situation, while Arron somehow seems to be also tangled up in the case.

Laura is invited by her Aunt Sonja, owner of Nautical Napkins, to help with a task involving an old submarine being converted into a restaurant. While Sonja reminisces about the napkin business, a body is discovered in the engine room, stabbed and surrounded by poisons and several passports. One of the names on the list, Olga Dmitrieva, is a former spy Sonja worked with during the island’s espionage-filled 70s.
As Laura investigates, she uncovers connections to the mysterious Chinese Jack, a spy whose identity was never revealed, and a past that refuses to stay buried.

Every year, an exclusive club made entirely of people named Ian gathers for its annual meeting. This year, one of the Ians is murdered. Distrusting the police, the club hires Laura to investigate instead. But as more Ians begin turning up dead, Laura finds herself trapped in a bizarre world of club politics, identical suspects, and a single rule the Ians can’t seem to follow: no Ian is supposed to kill another Ian.
