Expert clockmaker Ruth Clagan has another murder on her hands in the third
Clock Shop Mystery from the author of Clock and Dagger.
Years ago, the serenity of picturesque Orchard, Massachusetts, was
shattered by a fire that destroyed the town's beloved clock tower. Ruth
inherited the dream of repairing it from her late grandfather. Now that she’s
returned home to run his clock shop, the Cog & Sprocket, she’s determined to
make it happen, despite wrenches that are being thrown into the works by her
least favorite person, town manager Kim Gray.
A crowd of residents and visitors are excited to see the progress of the
tower at a fund-raiser for the campaign, until Kim is found crushed under the
tower’s bell, putting an end to all the fun. The list of suspects is so long it
could be read around the clock, and it includes some of Ruth’s nearest and
dearest.
Time's a-wastin’ as Ruth tries to solve another murder in her beloved Orchard
while keeping the gears clicking on her dream project.

Love the titles of your books. Hope I have the opportunity
to read some of them. Really like the idea of a woman
clockmaker.

This sounds like a wonderful book and series I would enjoy
reading. I love the aspect of a talented woman clockmaker.
Antique clocks are so fascinating.

This novel sounds captivating and unique. It would be
wonderful to read this fabulous story.
(Sharon Berger 9:10am August 8, 2017)
Stories which have to do with clocks make me think of time
and how I always want more time. This story sounds sweet
what with the whole town trying to raise money for a good
cause.
(Alyson Widen 3:58pm August 8, 2017)
This sounds like a different kind of series. Can't wait to start.

I love a cozy mystery.
(Phyllis Lamken 2:08pm August 9, 2017)
I must admit that I didn't know of you or your clock
mysteries until a member of my book club brought your name
into discussion. I can hardly wait til I get started
reading your stories, they sound so "chimming".
(Rosemary Simm 2:47pm August 9, 2017)
I would love to win and read your book.
(MaryEllen Hanneman 2:53pm August 9, 2017)
I would love to win this book, sounds like a good cozy
mystery.
(Mary Smith 2:57pm August 9, 2017)
This is a novel idea which I haven't seen in cozy mysteries. That of the
main character running a clock shop. Most include female characters which
work in a bakery of some sort. Now, I do love those. But every now and
again, I'd like something with a twist. Looking forward to Ruth's story!

Back in the day I was adventurous and inquisitive, too. I'm looking forward to sticking my feet in Ruth's shoes and following along as she solves the mystery. Isn't that what a good book does? Makes you feel like you're right there?

I've never heard of this author or series before! I'm SO
GLAD I found them here. I have always liked clocks and
mysteries..so the two together is a win win in my opinion!
