One deathless hour by Roger Ormerod.
David Mallin Detective series Book 16.
Victor Abbott is seeking an alibi for a murder it seems only he could have committed…
A man is deal: his rival in love, shot expertly with a bullet that also appears to give the exact time of the murder: 8.59.
But is this the time the murder was committed, or is Victor being set up…?Matters are further confused with the discovery of another murder, miles apart at the end of an hour’s drive, but carried out with the same revolver within minutes of the other crime. Is it even possible for both homicides to have been perpetrated by the same person? Because that’s exactly what the evidence points to…
It seems David Mallin and George Coe, never averse to a little blackmail, will have to employ all the unorthodox methods in their arsenal. While their client’s interests must be the priority, trying to keep ahead of the police investigation becomes increasingly difficult. Co-operation with Detectives Miller, Messingham and Rogerson appears to be inevitable, however reluctant. When it emerges Mallin and Coe must seek out other involved parties, a split occurs. Can the double act work separately to discover the truth?
An ok read with good characters. Slow but readable. Just took my time. 3*.

Not really up to par with the rest of the books I have been reading, aimed at an older age group. Its not that I dont like the book I just think older people would like it better.

This book was so creepy and chilling and I cant say enough good things about it. This book was a book that made me loose sleep and trust me I like my sleep. Highly recommend.
