Author of the Week: Tim Hall
Welcome to another Author of the Week! This week we feature Tim Hall and his book Dead Stock: A Bert Shambles Mystery
Dead Stock is about Bert Shambles, a man just trying to keep his life together. After a three year sentence Bert is working part time at a church thrift shop, while selling vintage clothes on the side. When Bert learns of a widow offering a reward for the proof of her husband's murder, and her husband's favorite putter, Bert sets off to solve this mystery. However, it isn't as easy as it seems. Now Bert has to keep himself from being framed so that he doesn't end up back in jail, or worse.
Check out this excerpt!
"Okay, that wasn't exactly soon. But what happened after my last entry was so messed up that I didn't have time to write until now. I'm going to try getting the whole story out while it's still fresh in my mind. It won't be easy, since I pretty much have to type one-handed for the next few weeks, but I've got nothing better to do. Besides, if any of this comes back to haunt me, then at least I'll have my version of events straight.
See? I still think like a criminal."
