Cosy crime novel set in a Cotswold village. No sex and the violence is pretty tame. A bit “Midsommer Murders”, if you know what I mean!
Dead in the Water is the 5th in this series, but that doesn’t affect the reading. There is a barely discernible frisson between Campbell and Carter, which has obviously been developing over the previous books, and would appear to be heading in the right direction! But this novel is more about the murder mystery than the police officers’ personal lives.
This would be a perfect holiday read!
