When a girl's body is found strangled, raped, and horrifically mutilated by a boat's propeller, deep in the heart of the Norfolk Broads, newly arrived Detective Inspector John Tanner is asked to assist with the investigation. At first, all the evidence points to a man who had a multi-million pound reason to kill her. But when an alibi is produced from an unexpected source, and another body appears at the base of a slipway, Tanner finds himself turning to local girl, Detective Constable Jenny Evans for help.
As a more intimate relationship begins between them, they find themselves facing a race against time to identify a lethal adversary, one with a lust for blood and a mind set on revenge.
This is the first book in the DI Tanner series. Set within the mysterious beauty of the Norfolk Broads, this fast-paced British detective series is a murder mystery that will have you guessing until the very end, when the last shocking twist is finally revealed. I loved all the twists and turns in the story. I also loved the banter between Tanner and Jenny and their new relationship. Tanner has a deep past with the death of his sister. I'm anxious to find out what happed to her. I'm starting the second book in the series, St. Benet's, and that one is pretty good too. So I'm happy to say that I have found a new series to delve myself in and I'm looking forward to reading all the books.
