Synopsis

The fourth murky murder in the Campbell and Carter Mysteries.

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.

Snagging on the jetty of Isolde Evans, the reclusive writer is shocked to recognize the victim. And she'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 . . .

A pretty, young girl turns up dead in a swollen river; she’s soon identified both as a murder victim and as Courtney Higson, the daughter of an imprisoned criminal enforcer (think breaking legs for the mob).

Goodreads review by Wendy

Dead in the Water is the fourth outing in the series of ‘Campbell and Carter’.
