Sweating It Out With Dover by Joyce Porter

Detective Dover, cranky and reluctant as always, is thrown into a messy case involving a missing shipment and a heatwave that’s making everyone lose their cool. As clues drip in and tempers flare, Dover stumbles toward the truth in his unorthodox but effective way. The plot mixes comedy and crime with a satirical edge. A clever procedural where the detective is as much trouble as the suspects. A delightfully offbeat mystery with unexpected charm.
