Dead on Time — Katie Gray

Description

Dead on Time (A Pippsy & Jack Mystery – Book 2) – This is the second crime novel in ‘The Dead Series‘.
A fast-paced British cosy crime mystery packed with danger, deception, and unexpected twists.

A missing wife. A suspicious husband. And a case that turns deadly.

When private investigators Pippsy and Jack Standage are hired to find the missing wife of a wealthy but deeply unlikeable businessman, something immediately feels off. The man claims to be legitimate—but the deeper they dig, the more they suspect he’s involved in “funny business” of a far more dangerous kind.

Their investigation leads them through a trail of luxurious homes and hidden secrets—but the case takes a shocking turn when Pippsy discovers a dead body… and soon becomes the next target.

Forced into hiding for their own safety, Pippsy and Jack quickly realise their supposed safe haven is anything but secure. With danger closing in from all sides, they must uncover the truth before it’s too late.

Caught in a web of lies, crime, and betrayal, this is no ordinary case—it’s a deadly game they may not survive.

Perfect for fans of:

• Cosy crime mysteries with a darker edge
• British detective fiction and amateur sleuths
• Suspenseful murder mysteries and whodunnits
• Private investigator crime thrillers
• Authors like Agatha Christie, Richard Osman, and M.C. Beaton

With compelling characters, witty dialogue, and a gripping plot, Dead on Time is a page-turning mystery thriller that will keep you guessing until the final twist.

Can Pippsy and Jack solve the case before they run out of time—or will this investigation cost them everything?

Reader reviews and ratings

Once I heard Katie had written another book I knew I just had to read it and have to say it was really good. I do feel Katie has grown in her writing of this book and again thoroughly enjoyed it.
