Death on the River - Clare Chase

Meet Tara Thorpe - she's Cambridge Police's newest recruit... but her dark past is never far behind her. Perfect for fans of Faith Martin, LJ Ross and Joy Ellis.

When a body is pulled from the dank and dangerous fens on the outskirts of town, everybody assumes it was a tragic accident. But Detective Tara Thorpe, newly joined and determined to prove herself, suspects there's more to the story.

Tara is desperate to investigate further, but her supervisor Patrick Wilkins has other ideas. He would rather die than let this ambitious upstart show him up - even if it means some digging in Tara's secret past to keep her under his thumb. After all, it's not like he can report her - everyone knows that his boss Detective Garstin Blake and Tara have a history...

When another body is found, it becomes clear that there's a killer on the loose. Could the murders be linked to the secrets that Tara has been keeping from her team... and can she solve the case before another innocent dies?

An unputdownable page-turner that will keep you hooked until the very last page!
