Summary

Get ready to be hooked by the thrilling and atmospheric murder mystery from the million-copy-selling crime writer: an aristocratic fatality leaves behind no body, no forensics, and enemies in the highest places...

When Caroline Thorpe succeeded in casting doubt on the verdict of the inquest into her brother’s death, she could not have anticipated what would follow.

Freddie was Earl Thorpe of Burnham, and as the Kings Lake detectives soon begin to realise, influential people have gone to considerable lengths to cover up a potential scandal surrounding the young man’s death.

Led by DCI Cara Freeman, their investigation will take them from Norfolk into the capital, and from idealistic young campaigners to people at the heart of government. The stakes have never been higher for the detectives from Kings Lake Central.

Critic Reviews

What sets Grainger’s books apart from the typical police procedural is the fully realized characters ... That and his elegant prose, with its pitch-perfect dialogue, which gets more assured and more playful in each book.
The books are comforting, yet the writing is subtle and the plots are gripping. (Emma Duncan)
Grainger expertly balances deep dives into his characters' personal lives with intricate police work, resulting in a suspenseful mystery with palpable emotional stakes. This is everything a procedural should be.
A marvelously complex procedural, full of suspense, danger, sticky moral choices, good writing, subtle humor, and some fine police work by an honest and competent team of detectives. It’s as satisfying a read as fans of intelligent detective fiction will find.
Absorbingly good, full of intrigue and humanity.

Had this book on pre-order, as I needed to know how the plot would develop. Was not disappointed. Great story, wonderful characters and have thoroughly enjoyed every book in the series so far (and the brilliant narration). The only down part - is the anticipated wait now until the next instalment! (which I hope will eventuate?)

Worth the wait!
