About this audiobook
A dead husband. A hidden body. Can an inexperienced amateur sleuth save herself and identify a killer in the stroke of time?
Young military widow, Dotty Sayers, just wants to take life one day at a time, with the help of Banff, her husband’s black Labrador. Seeking financial security, she excitedly accepts a temporary job at a local Cotswold auction house. But she realises she can’t accept everything at face value when she discovers a dead body inside a grandfather clock.
While the police focus on jealousy and blackmail, there’s no time to lose if Dotty is to prove her husband’s ex-wife’s innocence. This determined novice detective unveils her colleagues’ secrets, but when the police ignore her findings, she realises she may be wasting her time.
As the clock ticks, can Dotty convince the police of her suspicions, or is she living on borrowed time?
