The Canal Murders (A Yorkshire Murder Mystery Book 10)

The last thing DS Andy Carter and DS Stephanie Johnson expect when they take a canal holiday, is that it will be interrupted by a murder. The body of retired American folk musician Annie Shipton is discovered at the helm of her barge with a stab wound in her neck. What makes the crime so strange is that nobody else boarded the boat, begging the question how was she killed from behind? DCI Jim Oldroyd is summoned from Harrogate to investigate a case that’s perplexing in more ways than one, although there are plenty of suspects who might have had it in for the victim. They include the young cyclist she argued with over towpath access; an arrogant local developer; an estranged husband; and even her former bandmates, most of whom live along the canal. When a second murder sends shockwaves through the canal side community, the locals start talking about a curse on the waterway. Can Oldroyd track down a killer who will go to any length to avoid detection?
