Product Description
Product Description
Kirstin Rutherford's return to Edinburgh after two years away is tinged with sadness because five months ago her beloved father-in-law, Jamie, drowned in a deep pool in the Water of Leith, known locally as The Cauldron. And no one is sure whether it was a tragic accident, or a suicide, or something much more sinister...One person who may know is the enigmatic Morag Ramsay. For Morag's boyfriend and his lover were murdered at The Cauldron only a few months before Jamie's drowning. Morag was accused of the killings but recently released due to lack of evidence. Convinced Morag holds the key to Jamie's death, Kirstin befriends her. Yet it soon becomes clear that the brittle and unpredictable Morag is a less than reliable witness. And Kirstin's journey is making her suspicious of everyone's motives, including those who died. Who can she trust? And, more importantly, who should she fear?

Have read all three of Sue Walkers books and pleased to say that yet again she has written a page turner. Her books keep me gripped throughout. I have no hesitation in recommending this book. Looking forward to the next one.

I have just finished reading this book which kept me gripped the whole way through. Lots of twists and turns I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would highly recommend this to all crime readers along with her previous 2 books.

Format:Paperback
This is a real page-turner, like all other books by the brilliant Sue Walker. I could almost see all the places that she describes and, disturbingly enough, recognise some of the people. Well, maybe not the people, but definitely some of the elements of their characters.
Unputdownable and highly recommended! Can't wait for the next one!

One of the worst books I've ever read
This book was so badly written and the behaviour of the characters so unbelievable that I was laughing as I read it. God knows how it got published. Read more
