Book Description:
Some secrets are better left at the bottom of a WATERY GRAVE The year is 1769, and Jeremy Proctor, a manly, orphaned lad of fourteen, has been in the employ of Sir John Fielding for more than a year, lending his clear, observant eyes to the blind magistrate of the Bow Street Court in return for a thrilling education in the wicked ways of Georgian London. The case before Sir John in Bruce Alexander's third enthralling period piece, Watery Grave, entails rum doings on one of His Majesty's mighty frigates, which limps into the Tower wharf with a senior officer awaiting court-martial in the brig, charged with shoving the captain overboard during a storm...

The third novel in the Sir John Fielding mysteries (Blind Justice and Murder in Grub Street are the first two). A great Georgian thriller--definitely a step aside from the hero detective who always has luck on his side. One of the best yet in the series.

Third in the Sir John Fielding, Bow Street Magistrate, series, set in 1769 London. Lady Fielding’s son returns from a 3-year sea voyage on the HMS Adventure. At the same time, Sir John is asked by an admiral and old friend to assist him in the court-martial trial of an officer on the Adventure who is accused of pushing the Captain overboard during a bad storm. Story told from the perspective of Jeremy, a 14-year-old who has been ‘adopted’ by Sir John and works as his assistant and messenger. I’m enjoying this series and this book was an excellent entry in it.

Pretty good murder/mystery in the 18th century in England and on the seas.
