Synopsis "The Milkman Always Knows: A Cozy Murder Mystery"
At 5:07 every morning for forty-one years, the milkman waved at the doctor. This morning, the doctor waved back. He'd been dead for four hours. Bert Pickering knows every gate, every cracked step and every sleeping cat in Saltmarsh Cross. So when Dr Malcolm Ashby, the town's beloved GP, is found dead in his armchair three days before his retirement, Bert's word is the one that counts. He saw the doctor alive at the window at seven minutes past five. Only one person entered the house after that: Kieran Doyle, the young milkman Bert trained himself. The police have their man. The town has its story. And Bert has a secret. He hasn't been able to see a face clearly in two years. To save the boy he helped put in a cell, Bert turns to the people nobody in Saltmarsh Cross ever really notices: Dot, the retired dinner lady who fed half the town and kept every register, Precious, the retired postwoman who never forgets a handwriting, and Lenny, the gentle ex-boxer who drove the Number 7 bus for thirty years and sees everything without saying a word. Together they are the Invisibles. And invisible people see everything. But someone in Saltmarsh Cross has been invisible for far longer than they have. Someone patient. Someone tidy. Someone who has been waiting thirty-two years for this morning. Perfect for readers who love: - An impossible murder with fair-play clues you can solve yourself - Older amateur sleuths, unlikely friendships and gentle British humour - A seaside town where everyone knows everyone, and nobody knows the truth - A heart-wrenching twist that will stay with you long after the final page No graphic violence and no sex.
