In a small English village, an old gentleman is found dead beside his murdered rooster who has been disturbing the neighbours with his early morning crowing. There is a strange, grumpy recluse living next door. Meanwhile, an elderly blind woman has moved in across the street where there appears to be some strange happenings. Lois Meade, owner of the cleaning business, New Brooms, is asked to again assist Detective Cosgill in solving the murder. The crime becomes more complicated as the story progresses and the web is untangled. This book is an example of light reading and escape literature. Clem Fitch's cockerel is keeping neighbors awake--including the tenants in Lois Meade's rental property. They move out, and Lois's son Doug, who has just found a job near his parents, moves in. At much the same time, an elderly blind lady moves in across the street and hires Lois's cleaning service. When Doug finds Clem and his cockerel, both murdered, the police find that Clem's neighbor has vanished as mysteriously as he lived. Lois has solved crimes for each of the days of the week, but she's starts a new series with this mystery.
What do You think about Warning At One (2008)?
The plot moved slowly and the characters were less than engaging.
