In a race against time, Perry Juke must unravel the truth to catch a crafty thief and save the Cartier mystery clock from vanishing forever…
Something is very wrong. The Cartier mystery clock is too light, too dull in Perry Juke's hand. As head tour guide at Francis Court, he knows it has to be a fake.
So when Lady Sarah Rosdale brings in Detective Sergeant Simon Lattimore to investigate the theft, Perry is more than happy to help him find out who is responsible. But with only four members of staff having access to the room and three of them with solid alibis, there is only one suspect - the head housekeeper. It should be straightforward, but Perry doesn't believe she's guilty. He needs to convince Simon to reconsider the other three suspects so that they can catch the criminal red-handed. Otherwise, the thief is going to dispose of the clock and disappear for good…
A page-turning, contemporary, clean, British cozy whodunnit with a hint of humour that you wouldn't be able to put down from best selling author Helen Golden.
NOTE: This is a prequel novella that takes place before Spruced Up For Murder.
