About this listen

Set in and around the dark, misty canals of Lichfield, Stephen Booth's incredible new novel is awash with mystery.

When council officer Chris Buckley is approached by an odd old man demanding help in healing a decades-old family rift, he sends the stranger away. But then the old man is murdered, and the police arrive on the Chris's doorstep asking questions to which he has no answers.

As Chris begins to look into the circumstances of the murder, he uncovers a deadly secret in the silt and mud of the local canals that he'll realise was better kept buried.

This takes Booth away to the south from his usual Peak District to the industrial Midlands. The story spans a couple of centuries or so. It starts to get a bit confusing as to who is who as characters pop up and disappear for a while. You have to remember family trees, which I find difficult.

Not your usual Booth but good

I must admit to being a tad reluctant to read this one as I hadn't enjoyed your other stand alone one, I'm more of a Cooper and Fry fan. But as the next isnt yet out I took a deep breath and got this one. What a difference it was I could hardly put it down I just had to find out what happened next, in fact when I did I found myself still trying to guess the next chapter. So Thank you for the Brilliant read.

Thank you Stephen for another great book.
