Julian Worker

The Melton Lazars Mystery Julian Worker

Murder amongst the books in Scoresby.



Inspector Knowles has to work out why a bookseller was murdered. His investigation is complicated because he had feelings for the murdered lady. Along with Detective Sergeant Rod Barnes he has to turn the page and cover all eventualities.



The killer is one step ahead and next tries to kill a florist.



Knowles and Barnes root through the witness statements, leaf through the evidence, and assimilate the findings that stem from the investigation.



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.
