Fear of Drowning — Peter Turnbull

When middle-aged couple Max and Amanda Williams disappear without a trace, Detective Inspector George Hennessey is summoned to investigate. His gut feeling of foul play proves accurate when the bodies of the missing couple are discovered in a shallow grave on a local farm. Yet this macabre discovery is only the beginning of a bizarre and perplexing crime.

This ordinary, unobtrusive couple had secrets -- from each other and the world. Both husband and wife were involved in illicit affairs, and the family closet hides some nasty skeletons. A maze littered with red herrings, conflicting clues and too many suspects who wanted this seemingly benign couple dead tests the mettle of the North Yorkshire detectives...before the stunning solution reveals the face of an unexpected and brutal killer.
