A book set in the county of my childhood :)

The Lincolnshire fens are the setting for Superintendent Richard Jury's latest case. This landscape is one that can easily deceive, volunteering nothing - much like the locals of the only pub for miles, the Case Has Altered.

There's been a double murder. The body of one woman is found on the wash; another woman lies floating in a canal on windy fen. Both are connected with the manor house, Fengate: Dorcas Reese was a servant there; Verna Dunn was the louche ex-wife of the owner, Max Owen - a man with a passion for antiques. So when the principle suspect turns out to be Jenny Kennington, a woman Jury has long loved he decides he needs someone inside Fengate.
