A Matter of Manners Hawkins Family Mysteries Book

“You did not find a body.”

But Harry did, in an abandoned car at the back of his new field. When the responding officers put up their crime scene tape, Harry is tossed off the land, denied access to his farm equipment and prevented from working, while the police plod along with their investigations. Harry decides there is nothing to be done except find those responsible for his troubles and teach them some country manners. His only clue leads him to the big city, where his daughter, Liz, attends university, and soon he has drawn her away from her studies and into his shenanigans. It doesn’t take long before they realize murderers don’t worry about politeness.
