# The Drowning Place

Sarah Hilary's *The Drowning Place* is a police procedural set in Edenscar, a Peak District town. Seventeen years ago a school bus left the road and everyone on board drowned except Joseph Ashe, whose survival has haunted him and the town ever since. Now a detective sergeant, Joe is called to a brutal killing with no trace of the killer and no clear motive.

His new boss, DI Laurie Bower, comes from inner-city policing and has no patience for superstition, which matters in a town already inclined to believe in ghosts. Together they uncover the secrets of Edenscar, past and present. The book suits readers who like crime rooted in place and grief, with a cold supernatural chill running beneath it.
