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...

After listening to the 5th book in the series I thought it’s high time to write a review. I have enjoyed the storylines and the settings are well presented. I love the way the main characters connect with each other although each with a completely different personality… they balance one another very nicely. The inner thoughts of Fiona are a beautiful way to connect with her as well as Daisy & Partial Sue… get a feeling you know them personally. Zara’s voice is lovely and calm and she has a great way to distinguish each character, even though the story often states who has spoken. (Some other books I’ve listened to haven’t always had such clarity, which causes confusion and somewhat dismantles the story’s flow). I can’t wait for Book 6

Yet another great listen. The three ladies never fail with keeping you hooked. I hope there's another in the series soon.

Brilliant

Another good story to add to the collection. Only jarring fact was the mispronunciation of a few of the town names. Looking forward to the next installment.
