Description
A watched clock never moves.
The church clock in this unassuming South Midlands village has stopped, and for good reason. The old
man who wound it up lay lead in the tower, decapitated.
Dr. Jackson (Jacko), a local historian, becomes drawn in to the police enquiry, but not before there are
more unexplained deaths, including one at the home of a local MP. Then the vicar vanishes into thin air.
Is there a common thread? Why are the Intelligence Services involved? And why is there hushed talk of cannibalism in the police enquiry?
Growing tensions within the police enquiry make matters worse. Jacko wished he’d never taken the job, especially after an attempt on his life. He knew too much, which is ironic as he had no idea what it was he was supposed to know. Drifting unwittingly into a network of serious crime, can Jacko put together the pieces before the killer strikes again?

Death Of A Clock Winder.....
The death of a Church clock winder gives just cause for consternation. When more deaths follow a local historian, Dr Jackson, becomes involved in the police enquiries. Is there a link between the fatalities? Enjoyable mystery with a colourful cast and laced with a dry humour.

Complexes and solidly build this book was a delightful time of reading in this trouble era. I recommend it!

Reads like a Masterpiece Theatre. A quaint village, an inquisitive historian, a clock winder's questionable death leads to a police investigation with a few cheeky surprises. Not enough detail on one of the investigations and an abrupt cliffhanger ending detracted from the story.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
A well-written and complex crime thriller, it needs a lot of concentration, but it is worth it in the end. Recommended.
