Blurb
When a driver dies during a glamourous classic car event at her family's estate, Dr Nell Ward is in a race against time to uncover the truth and prevent the killer from making a speedy getaway...
Back in her natural habitat, Dr Nell Ward heads to a woodland pond to survey local newt populations. She's shocked to discover a car submerged in the water - with the driver dead behind the wheel.
Nell recognises the dead man as professional racing driver, and tabloid love rat, Jack Rafferty, whose performance on (and off) Finchmere's racetrack had earned him enemies.
Suspecting this isn't the tragic accident it appears DI James Clark calls upon Nell and her ecological skills to help find the murderer. But she soon finds that more lurks under the surface than she could ever have imagined. Despite the danger, Nell is determined to dredge up the truth from the murky depths of this case, before it's too late...
My Opinion
Each book in this series so far has been very different but they have all been enjoyable and I think that they could all be read as standalones. I enjoy car races so this book really appealed to me - Nell is trying to promote a race car with an electric engine taking part in a car race on her family estate. This was a nice, cosy mystery. I listened to this as an audiobook and for me it worked well.
Rating 4/5
