Overview
The final case in a character-driven English village mystery series, where an off-duty distraction collides with murder. A classic whodunnit of pub-team camaraderie, shifting suspects, and a detective partnership facing its sternest test.
The Game Is Ending. The Killer Is Still Playing.
As changes loom at Bexford police station, Detective Sergeant Guy Poole goes looking for a distraction and finds it in the camaraderie of a village pub team. Then one of his new friends is murdered, and the distraction becomes the case.
With a new partnership to bed in and a killer hiding amongst familiar faces, Poole has to work out whose friendship is real before the final game is played.
The Final Game is the fifth and final book in the Brock and Poole Mysteries, a cosy murder mystery for readers who love village whodunnits, police partnerships, and puzzle plots. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, M.C. Beaton, and Richard Osman.
