About this listen

 When a driver dies during a glamourous classic car event at her family's estate, Dr Nell Ward is in a race against time to uncover the truth and prevent the killer from making a speedy getaway...

Back in her natural habitat, Dr Nell Ward heads to a woodland pond to survey local newt populations. She's shocked to discover a car submerged in the water - with the driver dead behind the wheel.

Nell recognises the dead man as professional racing driver, and tabloid love rat, Jack Rafferty, whose performance on (and off) Finchmere's racetrack had earned him enemies.

Suspecting this isn't the tragic accident it appears DI James Clark calls upon Nell and her ecological skills to help find the murderer. But she soon finds that more lurks under the surface than she could ever have imagined. Despite the danger, Nell is determined to dredge up the truth from the murky depths of this case, before it's too late...©2023 Sarah Yarwood-Lovett (P)2023 Bonnier Books UK Amateur Sleuths Cosy Crime Thrillers Mystery Thriller & Suspense Women Sleuths Women's Fiction Detective Fiction

Really loving this series of books and looking forward to the fourth. Don’t go any Nell is likely to be, someone always dies!!!

Yet another exciting tale!

Alright but Not really a stand alone novel is it? I’ve got another one lined Ned up but I don’t think I’ll be reading any more.

Rubbish ending

I quite liked book 1, but the characters are becoming less & less likeable with each new book i listen to.

Nell is just insufferable and unlikable and i wouldnt mind if she was bumped off! Rav is quite gutless and i have no idea why he cant stand up to his parents at his big age. No woman in her right mind would put up being treated the way they treat Nell.

I cant believe a sergeant could get away with talking to an inspector the way Ashleigh talks to James. It's all a bit unbelievable really.

Shame there wasnt as much mention about the ecology as that's what made book 1 quite decent.

It's my least favourite thus far
