Be careful before going: Down a Dark River by Karen Odden

Here is the first title in the author’s series. The second published title is f Under a Veiled Moon. These books feature Inspector Corravan.

This historical mystery set in Britain will be enjoyed by fans of authors like Anne Perry. It is atmospheric and involving. Inspector Corravan is an interesting character with a backstory.

A young girl’s body is found floating down the river of the title. She is the daughter of a judge. Who has murdered her and why? Is it to do with her prominent father? How does a Mrs. Beckford fit in? Additional victims add to the complexity of the case.

This book is just the type that I enjoy when reading an historical mystery. I look forward to the next in the series. It will be out soon.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for this title. All opinions are my own.
