The Workhouse Mysteries: The Tale of the Depressed Man
Holly enjoys her days waitressing and managing the front of house in her mum's restaurant, The Workhouse. She is a beautiful and popular teen living an idyllic life with a handsome footballer for a boyfriend. The restaurant is always busy and she enjoys chatting to the customers, although she may wish she had not shown interest in a weary, depressed looking man sitting alone at the bar one evening. A robbery at the local bank appears to have gone horribly wrong with car chases through country lanes and the getaway driver getting more than he bargained for. If only Holly knew that there was a chance the two things were linked and that life was going to become very frightening in a hurry. Can her Grandfather, the local Chief Inspector get to the bottom of things? Or will he rely on her dashing boyfriend, Samuel, for his brawn and brains to save the day?
