Bloomsbury presents Murder Like Clockwork by Nicola Whyte, read by Nneka Okoye.

An empty house that isn't empty. A victim who vanishes. An impossible crime?

Every Thursday at midday Audrey Brooks cleans the Petrov house. Mr Petrov is never home - in fact he seems to use the house purely as storage for his impressive collection of antiques - but that doesn't affect the care with which Audrey mops, polishes, and carefully winds each of the dozens of beautiful clocks that decorate the tall, elegant, empty London mansion.

Until the morning she finds a corpse in the back bedroom, the pristine walls and floor covered in blood, and flees the house in panic.

Fifteen minutes later, the police arrive... and find nothing. No body. No blood. The only thing slightly out of the ordinary is the clock in that back bedroom, which is now running four minutes slow.

With no victim, the police are convinced there was no murder, but Audrey knows better. A man has been killed, and if they won't do anything about it, she - and her annoying friend Lewis - will. Whodunnit is one thing, but this detective duo must also wrestle with when - and where on earth is the body? It's not long since they solved the murder of their neighbour, so they're not rookie sleuths, and at least this time the case has no connection to their home.

Does it?

PRAISE FOR 10 MARCHFIELD SQUARE:
'A hugely impressive debut that's cosy and classy in equal measure. A super-smart and delightful mystery that teases out the secrets of an entire neighbourhood (Janice Hallett)
I just loved 10 Marchfield Square. Clever, funny, ingeniously constructed - and what a cast! The mystery is gripping and beautifully unguessable, the characters are bursting with life, and the square itself is drawn with such subtlety and love. Brilliant (Alex Hay)
Whyte crafts a brand new kind of cosy mystery that leaps off the page and keeps you thinking throughout ... A proper whodunnit that oozes charm, wit and bloody murder (Jonathan Whitelaw)

It is so well written and keeps you guessing right til the end. The interaction of all the cast make for a really compulsive read.

Great characters. Gripping story.

I'm giving 5 stars to all aspects of this audiobook, although there are some flaws with both the story and the narrator. However, it's rare that anything is absolutely flawless, so I'm not going to let those things detract from what is an immensely enjoyable book. My minor gripe with the story is that towards the end, with about an hour to go, things get a little muddled. I think the author was trying to make it more complicated than it needed to be. The narrator occasionally pronounces things wrongly -- interestingly, she pronounces them the way google translate suggests, rather than the way Cambridge, Oxford or Merriam-Webster dictionaries say it should be pronounced. The author also goes for the archaic "span" rather than "spun" as the 2nd form of the verb to spin, which stood out a few times. But as I said, these things aren't enough to bring the score down from five stars.

Thoroughly enjoyed this

One of my favourite books this year. Murder Like Clockwork is a brilliant second story in the series (although you don’t have to read book one first). If you enjoy well developed characters, subtle wit, and a plot that keeps you guessing to the end I highly recommend this book. The narration is absolutely spot-on. Will be listening to more stories by this narrator in the future.

Thoroughly enjoyable cosy crime

I’ve read 10 Marchfield Square and Murder Like Clockwork back to back and have enjoyed them very much. I’m looking forward to the next instalment to see what Audrey and Lewis get up to next.

Clever Stories and Interesting Characters.
