Synopsis

"A vivid and intense historical thriller featuring murder and mystery, mayhem and madness in 1901 Spokane.” — New York Times bestselling author William H Keith
Set in Gilded Age Spokane, Archie Prescot has traveled across the country to design the now-iconic Spokane clock tower for the new Great Northern Railroad Depot. When his talent for creating unique clock chimes connects him with a local patroness, he is thrilled, until she is discovered dead in the workshop of his new colleague. Her grand home on the South Hill provides ample suspects, as Archie works with his lodgers, Detective Carew and his twin brother, to prove his fellow inventor and himself innocent of the crime. 
While on the hunt for the murderer, romance crops up when a young lady crosses his path with a mysterious past of her own. Six intersecting storylines create a cohesive look at a convoluted murder that will require all points of view to discover the truth.
Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Taker is the first in the Spokane Clock Tower Mysteries. Rebecca Cook brings to life the story's narrative and characters in a way that will make you feel like you're standing in the midst of the action.

I was sent the audiobook by the author. This was great. I didn’t know really what to expect from this book other than that it was a mystery. But that was good enough for me. I don’t read as many mysteries as I do other genres, but I definitely enjoy them now and again. This was very much a “cozy” my......more
