Description
The river Thames is London’s most important yet neglected artery. When a young woman is found chained to a post in the tide, no-one can understand how she came to be drowned there. At the Peculiar Crimes Unit, Arthur Bryant and John May find themselves dealing with an impossible crime committed in a very public place.
Reviewed on 10th August 2024
The Peculiar Crimes Unit return to investigate a unique sort of locked room mystery set on the River Thames.
It’s the usual blend of fascinating characters, battle against the bureaucracy of the state, and bizarre life events of the group of detectives that Fowler has assembled.
The humour shines through particularly in some of the character interactions. The illness that Bryant is suffering provides for some fascinating scenes, and I can only marvel at the planning that Fowler has put in building this plot line up over three novels.
A really enjoyable return to this series, and I’m looking forward to the remaining stories on my shelf.
