A gripping tale of murder and mystery in eighteenth century
England. Across the still, dark English Channel come the smugglers.
But tonight they carry an unusual cargo: a coffin. Several miles
inland, a respected banker holds a birthday party for his wife.
Within days, one of the guests is found shot dead. What links this
apparently senseless killing to the smugglers lurking in the mists?
Why has the local bank been buying and hoarding gold? And who was
in the mysterious coffin? Reverend Hardcastle and Mrs Chaytor find
themselves drawn into the worlds of high finance and organised
crime in this dramatic and dark Georgian mystery. With its unique
cast of characters and captivating amateur sleuths, The Body in the
Boat is a twisting tale that vividly brings to life
eighteenth-century Kent and draws readers into its pages.
