The story opens with the apparently accidental drowning of a sixth form student in the Norfolk countryside. As a matter of routine, or so it seems, the case passes across the desk of Detective Sergeant Smith, recently returned to work after an internal investigation into another case that has led to tensions between officers at Kings Lake police headquarters. As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

Another great Nordic murder mystery
I love murder mysteries with a focus on the characters rather than the bloodshed or brutality, and this fits the ticket. Completely engrossing and suspenseful with our heroes in trouble at the end in spite of resolution of the murder. Narration was excellent. No time to write any more reviews, I have to start the next book in the series!
