'Satisfyingly intriguing' Faith Martin
'Winning charm, wit and humour' Suk Pannu
Retired schoolteachers and amateur sleuths Liz, Pat and Thelma are giving up their coffee morning for a brand-new mystery. The perfect cosy crime story for fans of The Thursday Murder Club, by Richard Osman
Retired teachers Pat, Liz and Thelma are happiest whiling away their hours over coffee, cake and chat at the Thirsk Garden Centre café.
But when their good friend tells them about an unsettling experience she had in a sinister-feeling charity shop, they simply can't resist investigating...
Because the entire shop has vanished into thin air.
Before long, our trio of unlikely sleuths find themselves embroiled in a race against the clock to get to the bottom of this mystery - but who has a secret to hide and how far will they go to keep it concealed?
Only time will tell...
Praise for A Clock Stopped Dead:'Satisfyingly intriguing' Faith Martin, author of the Travelling Cook Mysteries series
'This book feels just like a visit to old friends! The relationship between Liz, Pat and Thelma is so warm, funny and relatable that you could be forgiven for thinking that the plot is almost a secondary concern, but no - there's proper twists and turns, and a very satisfying conclusion. This series just goes from strength to strength' Fiona Leitch, author of the Nosey Parker cosy mystery series
'Hall writes with winning charm, wit and humour. This novel had me gripped and chuckling from the start, especially the warmth and tensions between the crime solving trio of former teachers. Three strong women, lots of hot tea, and a devlish clever plot. You'll love it.' Suk Pannu, author of Mrs Sidhu's Dead and Scone
