trade-size paperback.

from the back cover:
One hot summer evening, Julie Armstrong arrives home from a night out to find her son murdered. Luke's body has been laid out in a bath of water and covered with wildflowers.

This stylized murder scene has Inspector Vera Stanhope and her team baffled. As local residents are forced to share their private lives, the killer remains in their midst, waiting to prepare another beautiful, water grave.

#3 in the Vera series, though it is not necessary to have read the prior books for follow along.
