Review:

"Another lesser-known English procedural series that could be recommended to fans of Reginald Hill or Martha Grimes" Booklist on Just Desserts "Compelling, funny, highly entertaining... makes a fine addition to any mystery collection" Booklist on The Wages of Sin "Likely to delight procedural fans on both sides of the pond" Kirkus Reviews on Mortal Taste

Synopsis:

Too much of water there may be, but Lambert and Hook must decide whose tears are genuine In the midst of a heatwave in Gloucestershire, unseen hands slide the body of a young woman quietly into the waters of one of England's great rivers under cover of darkness. It is some days before the corpse is discovered, and the police have first to identify the victim as Clare Mills and then try to build up a picture of her puzzling lifestyle. Lambert and Hook come up against the strangest mother of a murder victim they have ever encountered, whilst the girl's stepfather refuses for a long time to offer them full cooperation. Then just when it seems that a solution is at hand, more violence intervenes.
