Summary

A dead woman. A silent town. And someone still watching.

August 27, 1982. Near the sleepy town of Upton Waters, a stagnant stretch of the Montgomery Canal yields a grim discovery: the naked, strangled body of a woman, caged in an upturned shopping trolley.

New Year’s Eve, 1990. Inspector Isabelle Cannon, transferred to Upton Waters Police Station as part of a disciplinary action, is handed the cold case by Sergeant Williams to keep her out of his way. Reluctant to invest in a case nearly a decade old, Isabelle’s curiosity is stirred when she learns the victim was never identified. Who was she? Why was she murdered? And could the killer still be living in Upton Waters?

This novel from Pete Worrall sees the welcome return of his much-loved character, Inspector Isabelle Cannon. The Montgomery Canal Murder is a thrilling cold case mystery laced with secrets and oozing British backwater whimsy.

Contains profanity and adult themes.

I enjoyed this book, kept me interested, only issue I had was way to much 'jesus christ' etc but that is just a personnel dislike of mine, I would recommend.

I really enjoyed this. Set in 1990s which was nostalgic for me. I usually guess the ending correctly for books but I couldn’t guess this one. A great descriptive style of writing that is still fast enough paced to keep the reader interested and then it ramps up to a very exciting end. I found myself sitting in the car on driveway at home after commute as I wanted to know what happened next!

Brilliant whodunnit with surprise ending
