Meet DI Hillary Greene, a police woman fighting to save her career. Not only has she lost her husband, but his actions have put her under investigation for corruption. Then a bashed and broken body is found floating in the Oxford Canal.

It looks like the victim fell off a boat, but Hillary is not so sure. Her investigation exposes a dark background to the death.

Can Hillary clear her name and get to the bottom of a fiendish conspiracy on the water?

So-so. Not gripping enough to keeping me engaged.

Couldn’t hold my attention. My mind kept wandering elsewhere. One of those formula books I think.

Great read... or listen!

I was hesitant to purchase this and start another series, but I'm glad I did. The author left a great hook at the end that encourages me to read the next installment.

A good police procedural

The only complaint I had was that there were too many characters to keep up with. I wished the narrator would have done more pauses when the story jumped to another character.

Well written

I enjoyed this book. I was pulled into the lives of the characters and I’m interested to see what happens as I read the next in the series. The only critique I would have is that I sometimes had to go back and relisten because there was not enough pause in between scene changes. That’s one of the tricky parts about listening to a book versus reading it.

Smart Lady Copper fighting the System

I'm a big fan of English mysteries. This is the first DI Hillary Greene book that I have listened to. Although I didn't LOVE it, I really liked it. Accused of being involved with the scam her husband was pulling, DI Greene had an uphill battle, after his death, to prove that she's an honest cop. This book is not quite as rich with atmospheric details as many of the English series I've listened to. I would definitely listen to another in this series.
