An outstanding and fun read indeed, although I did find a few errors throughout the book, so you may want to have a proofreader do another run of it.
Here's the error that stood out the most to me:
On page 164 you have "Rush" instead of Ruth.
I hope this helped, and if you'd like some vengeance, please feel free to read my book "The Marine Memoirs" and proofread all you'd like... the digital version is free!
Oh, and please add a proper photograph for your books cover here on Goodreads, and add the page count numbers to boot if you will, thank you.

The mystery clock definitely brings danger into everyone surrounding Maggie from the Carriage House Antique Shop to the clockmaker they bring the clock to to get it repaired. But the mystery is solved in th e end is solved and the culprit causing all the havoc apprehended.
This was an easy read but not as interesting as others I have read. The historical theme was interesting but I found the heroine a little flat. I also found that other stories drew me away from this book thereby drawing out the time it took me to finish.
A Chime to Kill is a cozy mystery by Elizabeth Goddard. It is different from her romantic suspense that I am used to and prefer but it is a pleasant quick read. A Chime to Kill involves a mystery clock which is dug up while planting landscaping!
This is part of a series and can be read as a stand alone. Maggie gets sucked into another mystery involving a Mystery clock that was made during the cold war. Maggie and her assistant try to find out more about the clock for their shop.
A quick read for hot summer days. The manor and carriage house are broken into again. When will Maggie invest in a security system? A buried clock, cold war intrigue, and new friends make this a good read.
A very interesting mystery! Full of intrigue, spying, misunderstanding and guilt. Imagine trying to landscape a property you just leased. Then you dug a hole to plant a tree and found something buried. This is the start of a great puzzler.
Another great and cozy read from this series! I love coming back to these characters and following along on more antique related adventures! This one involves a mystery clock that might hold some interesting and very old secrets.
A mysterious clock that chimes but has no visible mechanism? Hmmm. And why would anyone bury such a thing? Its it really worth THAT much money? Quick read and fun to watch the clues develop.
