I have really enjoyed these books and they are so refreshing in these scary times
The basic premise: Retired Detective Inspector who is now widowed decides to embark on a culinary tour of England to take cooking classes featuring the regional speciality of that area. He travels with his retired police dog, a very large German Shepard named Rex Harrison (Rex is a professional scene stealer, just warning you) . Albert and Rex are faced with a new crime at every town, and there are a few twists along the way. Is Bedfordshire going to be different? .......
from Amazon:
In the small Bedfordshire town of Biggleswade, retired detective Albert, and former police dog Rex, are enjoying a peaceful break from the murder and mayhem of the last week. Until the waitress serving him is arrested for murder …
… and he discovers she killed the café’s owner three days ago. But Albert saw her eyes when the police came for her – she is innocent!
With evidence stacked against her, no alibi and both motive and opportunity, she will carry the blame unless someone can prove otherwise. Left holding her dog when the police took her away, Albert does what he does best … he snoops.
There is something very odd going on, that’s for sure, and as he starts to investigate, the woman’s checkered past comes to life. Is she guilty after all?
In no time at all Albert becomes the target and this time it will take more than Rex to keep him safe. Is there a master criminal working behind the scenes? What possible motive could he have? One thing is for sure … this is no underdog tale!
