‘Oozes charm, wit and bloody murder’ JONATHAN WHITELAW, author of The Bingo Hall Detectives

‘Beautifully unguessable ... bursting with life ... brilliant!’ ALEX HAY, author of The Housekeepers

Audrey Brooks loves people. She even loves clearing up their messes - which is lucky, as she works as a cleaner. The only thing more satisfying than making a new acquaintance smile is shifting a particularly stubborn stain.

Lewis McLennan finds people irritating. Especially people like Audrey. His writing career is in the toilet and he hates his day job. His closest relationship is with his coffee machine and, frankly, he likes it that way.

The only thing they have in common is that they both live in the smallest square in London. And that one of their neighbours is currently lying dead on his kitchen floor.

The police think the victim's wife did it. Their landlady, Celeste, is having none of that. And so a very unwilling detective duo is born. In theory, they have the skills to find the real killer - if they don't kill each other first. But should they be looking closer to home? After all, how well do you know your neighbours?

The perfect mystery for fans of Tom Hindle, Janice Hallett and Kristen Perrin.

Audrey, Lewis and Celeste return in Murder Like Clockwork - available to pre-order now!
