The Body in the Boat is the third novel in the Hardcastle and Chaytor mystery series from AJ Mackenzie (a pseudonym for husband and wife writing duo, Marilyn Livingstone and Morgen Witzel).
I have so far just read a chapter sampler of this book as I have ordered book one and two to read before continuing with book three.
Take that as a testament to the enthralling first chapter of this book as I knew immediately that I must read the other books in the series.
Right from the beginning this novel is highly captivating. It opens with a smuggler in his boat on a cold, crisp night in 1796. Instantly, I felt the need for quiet, for secretiveness. The writing of the scene, and the setting, ensured my wanting of more.
