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 theres 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.
