Publisher's Synopsis
Caroline Bryce came from the top of the social register in the tranquil town of Treen. So it was quite a scandal when her body was dragged from the bottom of the river. Who would want to kill the beautiful Mrs Bryce? Was it a lovers' quarrel? A family feud? A long-smouldering resentment that exploded in a moment of madness? Superintendent Wycliffe has to unravel the intricate cross-currents of love and hate to find a psychotic killer who feels no guilt...and will not hesitate to strike again.
