About this listen

Still waters run deep in this baffling new case for the Charity Shop Detective Agency!

Wild swimming in February? No, thank you. It sounds like torture to Fiona, Daisy, and Partial Sue, the retired ladies behind the counter at Dogs Need Nice Homes charity shop.

Still, no one ever died of plunging into the icy waters around the sleepy little English town of Southbourne. Until now.

The body of Colin Barclay, retired PE master and wild-swimming fanatic, washes up in a secluded cove.

Days later, a shifty new customer comes calling at Dogs Need Nice Homes. "Is this where you solve murders?" she asks, her eyes darting wildly round the shelves of bric-a-brac. "I think I have one..."

This woman belongs to Colin's swimming club—and she's convinced his death was no accident. It was murder.

She just needs the ladies to dive in and help her prove it...
