What to expect

When a body is discovered floating in a Thames river lock one dreary morning, Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and Sergeant Gemma James are summoned from Scotland Yard to Chiltern Hills. The dead man is Connor Swann, son-in-law of two of London’s most renowned opera personalities. And prints on the corpse’s neck suggest that Swann was strangled. As Duncan and Gemma explore the quiet woods above the Thames and the flamboyant world of London opera in search of answers, they discover a tangled web of family secrets and hidden emotions. And when Duncan finds himself dangerously drawn to a suspect, he and Gemma must sort out their complicated feelings for each other.

Critics Review

  • “Secrets, big and little, hound one character after another: liaisons, frustrated ambitions, lies that cover older lies. Deborah Crombie has stylishly adopted a British accent along with a feel for British customs in crime.”

    Washington Post Book World

  • “The passages of the first
    drowning are haunting, the mystery is intriguing, the characters are
    well developed and the solution satisfies. Stay tuned.”

    Publishers Weekly

  • “Crombie’s insightful writing and an engrossing reading by Deehy make this haunting whodunit well worth hearing.”

    AudioFile

  • “Detail and pacing are immaculate as
    the investigation is drawn closer and closer toward domestic secrets as
    the source of the solution to the crime. A superbly engrossing whodunit
    for all active mystery collections.”

    Booklist

  • “Tidily plotted and neatly written.”
