Killing Time in Kenton

5^th April 1910. 10:15 am. The perfect morning for the perfect murder.

When a well-dressed man is found brutally murdered in a Suffolk village train station, the police - certain that they ''have their man'' - move confidently to arrest his murderer. But a shrewd and fiercely independent local woman, Winifred Smy, isn''t convinced and - as further fatalities follow - pursues the trail of clues that leads her to the real killer.

Killing Time in Kenton is the first in a series of novellas. The author, Michael Heath, creates a compelling story that introduces the reader to the intriguing Winifred Smy. Defiant and with a mysterious past, she pursues her prey with a steely tenacity and sits at the centre of a cadre of convincing characters: the recently arrived inspector, Herbert Tranmer; an amoral news reporter, Nigel Manners, and a cast of Suffolk villagers whose rich, authentic dialect bring the fast-paced story to life.
