PI Bentley Brannigan

PI Bentley Brannigan is a small-time private detective, who on one occasion solved a murder in his small town. He is also the brother of Brick Brannigan.

In 2014, he moved away from his family to live in a small town filled with secrets, now living in a tiny flat with an old woman with seven bears. He became close friends with a woman named Jan, but when she went missing in 2017, he was inspired to become a private detective to solve the mystery. It turned out that Jan had simply moved abroad without telling Bentley, but he had grown a taste for solving mysteries and continued with his career path.

PI Brannigan solved a variety of small-scale mysteries in town, such as missing dogs, shoplifting, and garden border disputes. He got involved in an illegal underground gambling ring (a secret that he buried), started a private detectives' book club which he was the only member of, and had a brief romantic affair with a handsome visitor named Preston. On the 3rd April 2021, Bentley solved his first high scale crime: a murder orchestrated by a member of the local aristocracy.
