Murder Most Devious
(2026)(The fourth book in the Harvey Ross Coastal Mystery series)
A novel by Theo Harris
A body in the clock tower. A killer never caught. A town that would rather forget.
In 1991, a popular young shop worker — a face the whole town knew — was found dead inside Sheringham's clock tower. The case went cold. The town grieved and moved on. Now it lands on ex-detective Harvey Ross's desk, and he's never been able to leave a loose thread alone.
As the clock tower case pulls him deep into Sheringham's long memory, a second mystery surfaces in Aunt Agatha's binders: the unsolved 1993 killing of a Norwich City kit man. That one he works off the books — with Dr Rose Morgan beside him, and a witness whose silence is costing someone a small fortune.
Two victims. Thirty years of secrets. One question nobody wants answered.
Harvey came to the coast for the sea air. He's starting to think the quiet life was the real crime.
A delightful coastal cozy brimming with charm, twists, and dark currents beneath the surface. Perfect for fans of M.C. Beaton, Richard Osman, and Frances Evesham.
