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.

Good story well told

Enjoyed book 1 but book 2 even better. Really well rounded characters and a propulsive story with no dull moments. Looking forward to book 3!

Great plotting and characters

The new male narrator is brilliant! (And the female narrator was always great) Loved the book, can’t wait for the next in the series. Very enjoyable read.

Love the balance of posh and urban characters - a modern murder mystery

I really enjoyed this. Not at all what I'd expected. A crime thriller that is obviously part of a series as there are ongoing stories. I hadn't read the first one but that didn't stop my enjoyment or understanding of events. It's not gory or gruesome so would probably appeal to fans of Richard Osman. It has characters that you really root for. The narrators are both excellent. I'm going to get the first one now and look forward to the next in series.

Odd title for a very entertaining read.

I have to admit that I read all of three in the series as paperbacks following a recommendation from my local library. I was so taken that I then purchased them on Audible because I just knew they would make excellent audio entertainment. I can see this being transformed into a TV series. I am a fan. Every book so far has enthralled and entertained me in equal measure. I have to say it is also very topical and current. I highly recommend it.

On the money!
