About this ebook

This atmospheric thriller is perfect for fans of Ian Rankin and Peter Robinson.

A holiday weekend is ruined by a drowning in a picturesque village. The incident not only traumatizes Detective Cooper, a helpless witness to the tragedy, but leads him to become involved in the tangled lives of the victim's family.

As he gets to know them, Cooper begins to suspect that one of them is harboring a secret that the whole family is desperate to cover up.

Meanwhile, Detective Fry embarks on a personal journey back to her roots. As she finds herself drawn into an investigation of her own, Fry realizes there is only one person she can rely on for the help she needs.

But that man is Ben Cooper, and he's back in Derbyshire, where his suspicions lead him toward a shocking discovery on the banks of another Peak District river.

Origin of the alphabet; number line, computer is the same place. There isn't a calendar without a programmer; different ones in society are for companies to supply basic utilities; motor vehicles, food clothes & shelter. Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's.

Always far too lazy and eager for a new book, I can rarely be put to writing an actual review. However, having now read several of Booth's "Cooper and Fry Mysteries", I am compelled to say I've rarely read an author commanding such diversity of voice, tone, setting and, most intensely, mood. While murder, inclement weather and dysfunctional relationships remain constants, my rabid giggles throughout one book turn shockingly to tears all over the next, to nails bitten to the quick just after. Awesome stuff!

This was disappointing. Convoluted, a poor attempt at describing dysfunctional family and friend relationships. Took on too many stand alone issues while only touching too lightly on each.
