Lizzie Barnsley has been murdered alongside a canal and Peter Box has been accused of murdering her, however his lawyer Dan Grant has set out to defend him. However, Peter will not speak at all but it soon emerges that Peter tried to confess to a murder years before but it went ignored, alongside multiple disappearances alongside the canal.
Dan is desperate to find out the links between these disappearances and soon has cause to suspect Sean Martin - the man that was cleared of the murder Peter tried to confess to, AFTER he had been in prison for a number of years.
The plot sounded great and I was eager to know more, however there was very little substance to keep me going and I soon felt myself being forced to continue, which is a shame because as soon as you get just over half way it all starts to fall together nicely. At which point you NEED answers. I felt there was too much description of just about everything, most of which was completely unnecessary to the plot. Including the backstory on Jayne - the private investigator, which we don't actually learn that much about even though it's mentioned frequently. The confusing non committal romance that Jayne and Dan shared was equally as frustrating as it lacked any sort of substance and didn't make any difference to the story at all.
Overall it was a good premise, however it just lacked a little excitement and substance.
