Publisher Description

When Superintendant Duncan Kincaid takes Gemma, Kit and Toby to visit his family in Cheshire, Gemma is soon entranced with Nantwich town's pretty buildings and the historic winding canal, and young Kit is instantly smitten with his cousin Lally.

But their visit is marred when, on Christmas Eve, Duncan's sister discovers a mummified infant's body interred in the wall of an old dairy barn; a tragedy hauntingly echoed by the recent drowning of Peter Llewellyn, a schoolmate of Lally's.

Meanwhile, on her narrowboat, former social worker Annie Lebow is living a life of self-imposed isolation, preparing for a lonely Christmas, made more disturbing by an unexpected meeting earlier in the day.

As the police make enquiries into the infant’s death, Kincaid discovers that life in the lovely town of his childhood is far from idyllic, and that the dreaming reaches of the Shropshire Union Canal hold dark and deadly secrets . . .

Krimireihe mit Abhängigkeitsrisiko

Ich hab schon viele Krimibücher gelesen, immer auf der Suche nach einer Reihe die an die Inspector Linley Bücher von Elizabeth George rankommen.
Und hier bin ich nun endlich fündig geworden!
Jedes Buch ist bis zum Schluss super spannend. Obwohl viele Charaktere vorgestellt werden ist es trotzdem sehr kurzweilig und man liest sie sehr schnell. Und das beste: das Privatleben der beiden Hauptcharaktere spielt eine große Rolle und entwickelt sich von Buch zu Buch weiter.
