Death and Shadows — Paula Gosling

The fourth murder mystery in the Blackwater Bay series from Paula Gosling, author of Monkey Puzzle and winner of the CWA Golden Dagger.

A murdered nurse, disappearing drug supplies, diminishing funds and the sudden death of two apparently healthy patients are just some of the problems confronting Blackwater Bay's leading private clinic.

Laura Brandon, recently arrived physiotherapist and self-appointed sleuth, realises that a lot of people have something to hide. Confronted by tight-lipped colleagues, inter-staff feuds, and strange tales about a shadowy evil that lurks in the woods, Laura begins to believe the theory of a psychotic killer on the loose.

Then another, eerily similar, murder occurs â€" and she knows the solution cannot be impersonal.

Fast-paced, entertaining and expertly plotted, this is a masterful murder mystery set in the Great Lakes.

Death and Shadows is the fourth book in the Blackwater Bay series. The series concludes with Underneath Every Stone.
