Death in Cold Waters: A Madeleine Brooks Mystery - Book 1

On working with her client Henry Macgregor, Probation Officer Madeleine Brooks finds him a simpatico person who is open both about his anxieties and on taking advice as she helps him integrate back into society. In other circumstances, she’d be comfortable with him meeting her family.

But, at the end of one session, Maddie is shocked when the police grab Henry and send him back to prison on suspicion of killing a young girl. Could he have done it? They think it open and shut. To them, it looks logical: Henry’s original crime is too similar to the new murder. Henry, like many of Maddie’s clients, has always claimed he is innocent of the crime for which he was imprisoned. She, as always, has been skeptical.

But what if he’s not lying when he says he’s innocent of both this murder and his original crime? Does Maddie know him well enough to truly know? She needs to dig deeper into that question because so much hangs on what she discovers. If convicted, Henry will be in prison for the rest of his life.

Death in Cold Waters is the engaging first murder mystery in the brilliant Madeleine Brooks Mystery series, an emotionally absorbing look into the mind and life of a Probation Officer turned amateur sleuth hellbent on uncovering the truth. Written in the grand tradition of the amateur female detective who dives deeply into the emotional life of everyone involved, this book delivers. If you love English settings, a strong female lead, and a curly murder mystery, you’ll love this book ... and this series!
