About this listen
On the night of the school prom, a young teacher is found dead in the Thames in a drug-related accident. It seems - at first - to be another sign that Cherringham High is spiralling out of control. The new head however is convinced that the teacher's death is suspicious and quietly calls in Sarah Edwards. With her one-time detective partner, Jack Brennan, back in America, Sarah is at first reluctant to take on the case. But when she does get involved, it soon becomes clear that the tragic accident might really be a case of murder - and even Sarah herself could be in danger ...
"Dead in the Water" is the first full-length novel set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, featuring the unlikely sleuthing duo Sarah, an English web designer, and Jack, American ex-cop. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. For fans of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series, Lilian Jackson Braun's "The Cat Who" series, Caroline Graham's Midsomer Murders, and the American TV series Murder She Wrote, starring Angela Lansbury.
Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid 90's, creating content and working on projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and - most recently - the successful crime fiction series Cherringham.
The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of 'DCI John Barnaby' in 'Midsomer Murders' and 'Jim Riley' in 'The Life of Riley'. He is also known for his film roles in 'The Nativity', 'Sorted' and 'Son of Rambow'. In 2012 Dudgeon starred as 'Norman Birkett' on BBC Radio 4's Afternoon Play series written by Caroline and David Stafford.

A truly warming read
As with all of the previous Cherringham books a plot with twists and turns peppered with good old characters in a charming setting. What more can you ask for?

Good as always
It was enjoyable to have a feature length story. Narrated well as always. I had a few technical issues with the download and the play back. Had to turn phone off to get it all going again a few times. It might have been just my phone though. Didn't ruin the story.

A little drawn out
I have been reading the shorter episodes featuring Jack and Sarah, and as they are quite gentle they bend well to the shorter tales. This one is good, but it tends to drag on a bit. I still enjoyed this story, but not so much as the shorter ones.

Another fantastic story
Matthew and both Neil’s, keep em coming. Great plots, great back stories, great characters and really great narrative by the talented Neil Dudgeon. I even love the intro music - though not at the end because I am sad another tale has ended. Well done one and all. In jack’s voice ‘like I said, keep em coming’! 👍🏼
