The Emma Howe & Billie August series by Gillian Roberts features a cross-generational private investigation partnership. Time and Trouble (1998) and Whatever Doesn’t Kill You (2001) follow the experienced Emma Howe and her younger partner Billie August as they take on cases together.
The series offers a different dynamic from Roberts’s Amanda Pepper books, with two professional investigators rather than an amateur sleuth, and the mentor-protege relationship adding depth to the mystery plots.
