About this listen

'Confirms Charlotte Vassell as one of the most exciting new voices in crime fiction. A must for fans of Susie Steiner or Belinda Bauer, the Caius Beauchamp novels are fresh, funny, occasionally furious and I can't wait for the next instalment.' Erin Kelly

Some people are in
On the last Saturday in August, politicos and socialites trade tidbits of gossip and sips of Pimm's under the tasteful bunting of a Richmond garden party. They'd never guess that the police are just a stone's throw away, pulling a body out of the river Thames.

Some people wish they were
The drowning appears to be a tragic accident - until Detective Caius Beauchamp gets an unexpected tip. The victim, it seems, had enemies in high places. Did being on the wrong side of them get her killed?

Either way, being out is absolute murder

The is story woven in history and literature whilst also showing human frailties for the better and in their worst formations.
The audio version very listenable now that the narrators have been changed from those in the first book where the story had not been enacted in the best light. Looking forward to the third book.
