The Lake

Cumbria Crime, Book 5

By: Rachel McLean, Joel Hames

Narrated by: Jan Cramer

Still reeling from the death of one colleague and a near miss for another, DI Zoe Finch could have done with a quiet winter.

But when a body is pulled from the ice at a rural beauty spot, Zoe and her team find themselves back in the thick of murder and intrigue. Who is the dead man? Why was he there? And is there a connection with a web of blackmail and corruption that spreads across the county?

Someone knows more than they’re letting on, and their silence could cost more lives. But talking can be just as deadly.

The Lake is the fifth book in the gripping Cumbria Crime series, featuring DI Zoe Finch from the bestselling ‘Deadly' series.

Rachel McLean and Joel Hames: Great Partnership!

Really enjoying the Cumbria Crime Series and thankful for the audio version. Can't wait to buy the next one...and the one after that. Jan Cramer shines as usual - great that she got on board with the narration: can't imagine anyone else bringing these books to life as she has done.
