When a driver dies during a glamourous classic car event at her family's estate, Dr Nell Ward is in a race against time to uncover the truth and prevent the killer from making a speedy getaway...

Back in her natural habitat, Dr Nell Ward heads to a woodland pond to survey local newt populations. She's shocked to discover a car submerged in the water - with the driver dead behind the wheel.

Nell recognises the dead man as professional racing driver, and tabloid love rat, Jack Rafferty, whose performance on (and off) Finchmere's racetrack had earned him enemies.

Suspecting this isn't the tragic accident it appears DI James Clark calls upon Nell and her ecological skills to help find the murderer. But she soon finds that more lurks under the surface than she could ever have imagined. Despite the danger, Nell is determined to dredge up the truth from the murky depths of this case, before it's too late...

The third book in the Nell Ward cosy crime series. A completely gripping cosy mystery, perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Janice Hallett and Robert Thorogood.

I enjoyed listening to the first three and looking forward to hearing more. I listen on my way to work every day.

Full of multiple suspects, this cosy mystery offers the thrill of the chase to find out who’s guilty and who’s situational carnage. Throughly enjoyable.

Well crafted cosy mystery

Most interesting of the series so far. I get tired of the love interests in the earlier books. This was better balanced.

Best of the series so far

good cozy mystery, with characters that we are familiar with and are interested in seeing how their lives continue to intertwine.

excellent entry in the series

Enjoyable listen and it may be because I listened to them back to back but too much I like him and can’t tell him, I like her but she doesn’t trust me, your not good enough for my son, then you are, then you aren’t again. A little of that is ok but just too much by the 3rd book.

I liked this least of the 3 books

As I obviously enjoy the scientific bits best, I wonder if The Great Courses could persuade the author to do a course on ecology instead? Jokes aside, it starts to feel a bit 'samey'. Good fun and all that, but three books feel plenty at this point.

Had hoped for more

I understand most popular authors want to let their audience know where they stand on climate change, liberal politics etc.
However this story was over the top, I couldn’t finish this and I certainly want be listening to any more books in this series.

Overwhelming political correctness.

Apparently I listened too long to return this. I kept hoping there would be more focus on the environmental fieldwork and held out too long.

Disliked and not able to return

I enjoyed the first 2 books in the series but this one not at all. The way she portrayed the Indian parents is horrible. These were supposedly educated people and they just wouldn’t act the way they were portrayed in the book. Made them seem bigoted. I won’t read another of her books. I am disappointed that i can’t return it. Waste of money .

Disappointing
