About this listen

Life moves at a slower pace on the canals. But death always comes when you least expect it.

The last thing DS Stephanie Johnson and DS Andy Carter expected during their much-needed canal holiday was a murder. When retired folk musician Annie Shipton is found stabbed through the neck at the helm of her barge, the couple can’t help investigating the seemingly impossible crime. Nobody else boarded Annie’s boat—so how was she killed from behind?

With the method a perplexing mystery, DCI Oldroyd is summoned from Harrogate, and it’s not long before the detectives have a long list of potential suspects with a motive to want Annie dead. There’s the young cyclist she argued with over access to the towpath, an ambitious and arrogant local developer she clashed with repeatedly, an estranged husband…and more than a few lingering issues with her former bandmates, most of whom live along the canal.

When a second murder sends shockwaves through the community, the locals start talking about a curse on the waterway. It seems the killer will go to any lengths to avoid detection. But can Oldroyd hunt them down before someone else becomes the next target?

DCI Jim Oldroyd and his team, what more could you ask for if you enjoy this series. Mystery includes interesting background material on the history of canals and the role the long boats play currently. Love the conclusion with Jim and daughter. My only complaint regards narration. Ordinarily i really like Michael Page, but this time I had trouble following the characters, especially with Oldroyd and his buddy the local DI. I was never sure which one was doing the interview.

Book ten a winner
