“I’m twice the detective you’ll ever be. I already know who murdered Amy Bulpit and I’m not telling you.” Ned Machray knew she was teasing. It was all part of Timberdick’s game to teach him a lesson.

The Spring of 1966 is an easy time for Constable Machray. His assignment to light duties has been extended so he can spend hours with his toy train sets. The All Women Modellers of Hazeley’s Bottom have invited him to speak at their monthly meeting and the delectable Doctor Deborah wants him to stroke her bare feet. How can life get better?

At first, he paid little attention to the murders. This time, he’d decided to let CID do their job. But when the Vicar presents him with his own locked room mystery, Ned finds too many connections with the recent deaths on Goodladies Road. He is sure the solution is hidden in the church cellar. But it takes our Timberdick to find the Clue of the Curate’s Cushion.

"This is parochial policing at its best - bumbling coppers, acerbic locals, dotty hobbies, seedy pubs and an endearingly down-to-earth main character. For all lovers of M.C. Beaton's "Agatha Raisin" novels, this is the next step, still entertaining but with rather more gritty crime and set in a somewhat less idyllic landscape." (Shropshire Star)
