I found this book in a used book store and it sounded fun. Its an easy, quick read. Nothing extra special, but a fun little English murder mystery.

Lucy is sent to the lonely pub in the fens to help out after her cousin Nancy, wife of the pub keeper, is killed, by swans, the locals say. But Lucy is suspicious, especially when she is convinced that Martin, a neighbor, has been having an affair with Nancy. Luckily, there are two vacationing policemen in the area, and when violence erupts, they are there to put the pieces together.

Synopsis: a young woman is helping her pub-owner friend when, apparently, swans attack and kill the friend! Suspicious, she delves into it.
