In a sleepy Cotswold village, heavy rains reveal the body of a barmaid and troubling mystery for a local police inspector.

As Christmas approaches in the sleepy English village of Weston Saint Ambrose, the rains bring the wettest winter on record and the farmer’s fields are submerged. The water uncovers all manner of things, however, including a dead body, dredged up from its watery grave.

Reclusive writer Neil Stewart is shocked to find the victim snagged on the jetty at his house, and even more surprised when he recognizes her. And he’s not the only one. When Inspector Jess Campbell investigates, she recognizes the body of Courtney Higson—a local barmaid with a doting, ex-con father, Terry. He is set on finding his daughter’s killer, and Jess must get to the bottom of this quickly, before he takes the law into his own hands . . .

Perfect for fans of T. E. Kinsey and Ann Cleeves.

Praise for Dead in the Water

“Think . . . Midsomer Murders—but without the hammy horror and unfeasibly high body count—add a cast of seductively real characters and a large helping of super sleuthing, and you have the fourth Campbell and Carter murder mystery from one of the nation’s best-loved crime writers.” —Blackpool Gazette
