Murder Amidst the Rushes

by Ralph E. Vaughan

Two men walk onto a darkened bridge in a small village after leaving the Mad Badger pub. There is a splash in the river below, and only one man returns to the car park. The river should have carried the body to the deeps of the sea. It didn't. DCI Ravyn and DS Stark must solve a murder with few clues and witnesses who have secrets to keep.

Smart

DCI Arthur Ravyn is smart. He's teaching his DC Stark how to think like he does, no small task, but Stark's making progress.

Without giving too much away, this will make you think a great deal as well!
