About this listen

In the Welsh borders, isolated by heavy snow and flooding from the thaw, cut off from telephone access, a tragedy has occurred. Old Dr Robinson known to be 'a menace' on the roads has met his end in a car crash, his big saloon thrown from the track down the steep hillside. But when the police arrive there is more to the tragedy than meets the eye: why was there a second body - an outsider to these parts - in the back of the vehicle? As the local inspectors dive into the muddy waters of this strange crime, Chief Inspector Julian Rivers and Inspector Lancing of Scotland Yard are called to investigate, with danger and deceit lying in wait among the lonely hills and authentically evoked landscapes.

Excellent story telling

I'm not a prude, but I sure appreciate these old mystery authors who rely on character, setting and prose rather than sex and violence to get published. This one's a real page turner with an excellent ending.

An atmospheric mystery

A Very good mystery. Carol Carnac (also E.C.R. Lorac) does an excellent job bringing to life the surrounding countryside in which the mystery takes place. You get a real sense of the isolation and atmosphere of the place; coupled with a good mystery that kept me guessing until the end, I wish we could have more of DCI Rivers and Inspector Lancing published by the British Classic series.

great story and narrator

ECR Lorac/Carol Carnac is a mystery writer of the golden age who has been sadly overlooked! I'm so glad that more and more of her books and more audiobooks are being published or back in print. This was a compelling story that was wonderfully narrated. I can only hope that Audible will produce more of her books,and with narration this good.

multiple motives for murder in flood

The author took her time to develop a sense of place, secrets, suspicions, and motives for each suspect. Escape to the hills and let this beautifully read book take you to a long ago isolated English hamlet where all is not what it seems. highly recommended

totally taken by this golden age mystery

i liked the setting - remote English farmsteads long ago. the author did a good job of describing the life of people at this time & place. and, if it wasn't accurate, it seemed very believable.
the mystery was truly mysterious; the procedural satisfying; the investigators polite, thoughtful & successful (devoutly to be wished); and the resolution a surprise - at least to me.
the performance was compelling.
highly entertaining. i would love to hear more in this series.
