Murder in the Garden

Three detective stories where the police are still unable to reach a final conclusion. Therefore, at their request, the cases are also taken on by Pavel Havránek – a private detective, retired police officer, and lover of Prague pubs. He doesn't carry a gun, and his methods rely more on intuition, logical reasoning, and wit than on the latest scientific techniques. While searching for the perpetrators, he shares his opinions, his taste for Czech food, and especially his love for Czech beer. Will he know what to do? Will he answer all seven basic criminal investigation questions while solving the mysteries? Who? What? When? Where? How? With what? Why? Will we be there when he reveals his modus operandi? In the first story, a guest dies at a garden party. Is it an accident or was it intentional? And who could the potential murderer be? What is the motive? There are several suspects. In the second story, Murder in the Office, a department director is found dead after a farewell party. Was he killed by one of the party guests? A few days later, a second body is found in a nearby office. Are these deaths connected? In the third story, Murder in the Village, the owner of a successful company dies in his country home. No one else was found to be present at the time of death, yet all the evidence points to it being unnatural. What will the solution be? The book is intended primarily for readers of detective stories, but its humorous touch will certainly appeal to a wider audience. It is a thrilling and entertaining read for long winter evenings and summer gatherings in the garden.
