About this listen

THERE'S BLOOD ON THE WATER. NO ONE IS SAFE...

1999. A young Detective Constable Louise Mangan crosses the Thames one misty morning in pursuit of a killer. She finds a tranquil community on a leafy island close to Hampton Court Palace, but soon realises that all is not as it seems. There is something evil at play in this quiet suburb, and this junior detective's questions seem only to scratch the surface.

Twenty years later, a horrific fire brings Detective Chief Superintendent Mangan back to that same island. Soon, she discovers that murder was just a drop in these dark waters.

The river runs deep, and the tide is rising at last. Will the truth rise with it?

Fast paced, many layered thriller

Another great story with Louise Mangan centre stage! I do hope she hasn’t retired! Just a word Mr Johnson- please stop referring to vicars as Reverend X. Reverend Christian name X or Mr/Dr X is correct!

Should have read 1-3

I came in straight on book 4 and I think I should have read 1-3. The book was all over the place. It’s a good story but it didn’t flow 😬

Temporal disconnect:

Disliked the abrupt change from 1999 to 2019 without any lead in. Plots rather too far-fetched
