The clever one and other stories

A Czech Miss Marple? Young. Quirky. A teacher.

Why did the sculpture teacher have to die, and what secret lies hidden behind the walls of the local art school? What shattered the peace of a cottage holiday spot on the banks of the Berounka? Do the owners of a quiet upholstery shop have anything to do with the death of the old man next door? Can you stumble across a crime while investigating a cheating husband? And is it possible to catch a thief when your plans are thwarted by a lovely old lady and a group of resourceful children?

Join Josefína Divíšková, an inquisitive teacher and artist, as she searches for answers in this collection of five stories packed with humorous situations and unorthodox investigative methods. Along the way, you will meet the wonderfully grumpy Detective Inspector Tvrdík, Josefína's strict sister Miroslava, the slightly eccentric Dostál family, the strapping Constable Švec, and her late grandmother, whose invaluable advice still guides her.

And who knows, you might even discover how it all began between Josefína and Tvrdík...
