Detective Superintendent Duncan Kincaid has been sent to the rainy, wet Chiltern Hills because a body has been pulled out of a lock in the canal. He had been strangled before being tossed in the canal. His parents-in-law are musicians of some standing, therefore the reason that Scotland Yard has been called in.
It doesn’t take long for Kincaid to learn that the victim’s wife despised him. The following morning he is joined by his DS, Gemma James as they begin the investigation.
The pathologist informs Kincaid that the victim did not die by drowning. Indeed he was likely dead well before he went into the water. So, did he die by accident, or was he pushed?
Author Deborah Crombie presents four potential suspects as Kincaid and James continue their investigation. However the true culprit isn’t found until the last moment. A good, quick read.
