Cotswold Solicitor, Benedict Gregory, cannot recall how he got home from a New Year’s Eve party at The Manor House. The next morning, the body of an elderly neighbour, Keith Breslaw, is discovered floating in the village pond, known colloquially as The Piddle. The police wonder if Ben’s claimed loss of memory is a convenient excuse or if he is in any way responsible for the death. Ben finds himself embroiled in a complex investigation involving blackmail and corruption as he tries to uncover if Keith Breslaw’s death is accidental or murder. ,
Great characters with an engaging plot that keeps you turning page after page. A great weekend or holiday read, especially if you like to explore Cotswold villages - you'll never look at the locals in the same way again!
