Summary

Change is afoot at Kings Lake Central police station. A most unexpected new detective inspector takes up his post this Monday morning, and the oldest detective in the place takes a momentous decision.

Around them, other officers are considering their own situations, and even the building itself seems to be facing an uncertain future. But life and death go on, nevertheless, and by lunchtime someone will make a grim discovery on the Norfolk saltmarshes. A stranger seems to have suffered a slow and agonizing death out there.

As the team from Kings Lake uncover his story, they reveal another, much older one with its origins far back in the previous century. In the tide that governs the affairs of men, it seems, love and loss, betrayal and revenge are timeless themes. Fans of Colin Dexter, P. D. James, and Ruth Rendell have all found much to enjoy in DC Smith's previous investigations.

as always I really enjoyed reading about the exploits of DC Smith and the intricacies that go on inside of his head
I found the whole series a fantastic read and as always ain't very believable set of characters within each story

I hope this is not the end as DC has too much to offer

DC does it again

I am hooked on this detective series.DC Smith is clever and likeable and respected by his colleagues. He is also witty and self deprecating. I also enjoy the police procedures .A very enjoyable read. Great to enjoy a detective story without graphic detail and violence. I hope there will be many more.

DC. Smith. A brilliant series.

This has to be one of the best series of books I've heard on Audible. Parts are very amusing in a really oddly British way and parts are very sad . The writing is wonderful and I can't think of a more well chosen reader. I'm flying through the whole series and I'll be sorry to finish it. Many thanks

Great reader .Great story
