The Melton Lazars Mystery — Julian Worker

Inspector Colin Knowles was developing feelings for the bookseller, but along with his sidekick Detective Sergeant Rod Barnes, he has to put those to one side, so he can investigate her death.

When events shift to the nearby village of Melton Lazars, Knowles and Barnes know it's only a matter of time until the killer is caught, though it's almost certainly not the time on the grandmother clock in the florists! 

With inaccurate clocks, a sensitive bank manager, cocky DIY professionals, a Guy Fawkes mask, and an exotic call centre worker all thrown together, this book zips along at a fast pace until the revelatory final chapter.
