Product Description

Coroner Martha Gunn is among the first to be called to the scene when a man's body is found in a small cottage fronting the river. Floating face-down in the rising water, it appears to have been raised from the cellar by the flood.

In the dark and fetid cottage, Martha's instincts tell her that this is a homicide - a hunch borne out by the post mortem. But there are many questions about the dead man's identity. He is initially thought to be James Humphreys, a respectable, middle-aged businessman who had rented the cottage a couple of months ago, and had recently gone missing. The corpse certainly fits his description.

Yet when Mr Humphreys' wife, Cressida, comes to identify the body, she is adamant that it is not her husband. So who is it? Why has he been murdered? And where has the real Mr Humphreys gone?

Dull, dull, dull! 29 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback
Based on this book I wouldn't read anything else by the author. It was trying so hard to convince the reader of the charisma and depth of the main characters that the descriptions started to make me cringe! Do we really care in a 'thriller' if the main character slips her feet into 'M&S black mules' or any other type of footwear? I think not! Totally fragmented and lots of ends left undone for seemingly no reason- wreaths and mice left at the front door- by who or what we will never know! A silly book with no real story- into the bargain bucket with this one I reckon.

River Deep 20 April 2006
Format:Paperback
I loved this book, I particularly liked Martha Gunn, the sub plot being a strong woman alone, raising her family. The story is creepily atmospheric, murder and mystery among the ever present threat of the flooding river Severn, endangering homes and people. I had hoped to read more about Martha, her family and the enigmatic men in her life.

Format:Hardcover
James Humphreys becomes John on one page - Was it the Welsh version of squelch? She throws the duvet back twice on arising from bed - New sentence starts with lower case - "Who won the Ashes?" question not suitable for "Who wants to be a millionaire" - Quite a few missing words but pretty low on typo errors (apart from squelch!) Who was responsible for Wreath on step and dead mouse tied with string? A few other inconsistancies but these are all I can recall for now.
