After Harry Jones takes his life in the chilling waters of Vixens Mere, not one body is found by the police rescue team, but two.
"A darkly humorous and deeply moving tale of community" - Ruth Hogan
Tucked away in the English countryside, the run-down marina at Vixens Mere hosts a ragtag community of houseboats whose lives are as tangled as their mooring ropes.
Harry Jones's death dredges up more than grief: a second body in the water, hidden love affairs, and old grudges. As the marina begins to reveal the truths of the past, its dwellers unify against investigators, vindictive exes, and anyone else who tries to break them.
The boats of Vixens Mere brim with secrets… A marriage broken by war, a guilty lover returning, a ramshackle haven for aging hippies, a newcomer chasing a better life, a home haunted by addiction, and a loyal outcast whose devotion turns deadly.
Step aboard and lose yourself in the secrets, betrayals, and unbreakable ties of a small community.
"Kit Fielding has done an excellent job of managing his large cast and of bringing every one of them to life. And of killing some of them." - Bruno Noble, author of "The Colletta Cassettes"
