About this listen

DCI Lesley Clarke has promised her new wife that their Scottish honeymoon won’t be spoiled by murder investigations.

But when she’s out for a walk on the first day and finds a body, she can’t help but be dragged into a case. The investigation is taken on by DI Jade Tanner and Dr Petra McBride of the Complex Crimes Unit, along with Lesley’s old colleague DS Mo Uddin.

Can the team discover who killed the woman floating in the loch? And will Lesley’s marriage be jeopardized by her obsession with the job before it’s even begun?

This novella comes between books seven (The Blue Pool Murders) and eight (The Lighthouse Murders) in the Dorset Crime series, or can be listened to alongside the McBride & Tanner series.

Aaron a fan of the series I'm really disappointed. this book is really not worth the credits paid. its shorter than a podcast and perhaps should be free.

just too short to be worth the credits

Seriously... ever since Petra arrived all that time ago, they haven't improved. Every Scottish person she does sounds like Groundskeeper Willy. It offends my ears so much that I can't pay attention to the story. please... just... no more. it's an insult.

Please don't let Jan Cramer do Scottish accents!

I know it was billed as a novella, but it was exceedingly short. The story was not as good as many, too many coincidences. It was pleasant but not earth shattering.

A very short story

I have loved this series of books and have read them all right from the first Zoe Finch book but was so disappointed with this. Totally unnecessary to the on going plot and not at all convincing. Just a little filler to build up the tension re Dennis’ arrest. The only saving grace was the narrator. I feel I’ve wasted a full credit on a ‘book’ which lasted just over an hour. This could have been included in volume 7 as a package. Volume 8 had better be a belter!
