When Stella Reeve is found drowned in a stream it seems like an accident, but Inspector Finch has to investigate all possibilities as it seems that many people had reasons to wish her dead. A book where the crime is in many ways subordinate to the analysis of rural snobbery and insularity.

Rivalries and passions in an am-dram group lead a to a real-life case for D.C.I Jack Finch.

DCI Jack Finch searches for a missing girl whose disappearance may be linked to a new arrival in the neighbourhood.
