Murder at the Flood (Detective Inspector Skelgill Investigates Book 9)

A STAND-ALONE MURDER MYSTERY, #9 IN THE SERIES. MEET MAVERICK BRITISH DETECTIVE DI SKELGILL... "MAD, BAD AND JUST A LITTLE BIT COZY."

WHEN LATTER-DAY LOTHARIO and expert kayaker Roger Alcock disappears on the night of the â€˜Great Cockermouth Floodâ€™, his attractive wife Maeve takes 24 hours longer than might reasonably be expected to notify the authorities. But when Rogerâ€™s corpse washes up on the Solway coast, a post mortem suggests his death could legitimately be classified as misadventure.
DI Skelgill, however â€“ engaged as a rescuer to the inundated Cumbrian town â€“ detects a sinister undercurrent that pervades the tightly knit community in which Roger Alcock moved. As the floodwater recedes, reasons surface why Rogerâ€™s erstwhile associates might celebrate his demise.
Could this be a murder â€“ of the kind that suits the innocent as well as the guilty to hold their peace? Could spurned lovers and fleeced creditors and others who might benefit be acting in silent concert? Jealousy, revenge, greed... these are sentiments that trouble Skelgill â€“ for he realises that unless he can divine a motive, he cannot begin to ascribe a crime.
To penetrate the mystery he enlists a female duo, a visiting TV reporter, and the sister-in-law of the late Roger Alcock. But are these alluring ladies simply playing him for their own devices? While DS Jones is temporarily absent, Skelgill becomes doubly conflicted.
Barely treading water in the case, he flounders in the perpetratorâ€™s wake. Can his famous â€˜sixth senseâ€™ come to his rescue in time â€“ or will a second murder erase forever all trace of the killer?
