About this listen
On the night of the school prom, a young teacher is found dead in the Thames in a drug-related accident. It seems - at first - to be another sign that Cherringham High is spiralling out of control. The new head however is convinced that the teacher's death is suspicious and quietly calls in Sarah Edwards. With her one-time detective partner, Jack Brennan, back in America, Sarah is at first reluctant to take on the case. But when she does get involved, it soon becomes clear that the tragic accident might really be a case of murder - and even Sarah herself could be in danger ...
"Dead in the Water" is the first full-length novel set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, featuring the unlikely sleuthing duo Sarah, an English web designer, and Jack, American ex-cop. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. For fans of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series, Lilian Jackson Braun's "The Cat Who" series, Caroline Graham's Midsomer Murders, and the American TV series Murder She Wrote, starring Angela Lansbury.
Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid 90's, creating content and working on projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and - most recently - the successful crime fiction series Cherringham.
The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of 'DCI John Barnaby' in 'Midsomer Murders' and 'Jim Riley' in 'The Life of Riley'. He is also known for his film roles in 'The Nativity', 'Sorted' and 'Son of Rambow'. In 2012 Dudgeon starred as 'Norman Birkett' on BBC Radio 4's Afternoon Play series written by Caroline and David Stafford.

Great story quite dramatic
I really enjoy Neil Dudgeon’s narration of the great stories. Love the characters! . And these fantastic stories. My only issue is that I wish it had been made clear that this story fit between other Cherringham shorts.

A decent story
I've listened to and enjoyed several of the Costello and Richards stories, but this one left me a little ambivalent. I felt a little lost. A good story, nevertheless.

For English Mysterys
I just love these books with Neil dungeon as the Storyteller he's very good at separating the characters and you can really picture the scenes as they unfold. Matthew Costello and Neil Richards are fantastic writers you just want to changelly listening listen or read the stories it'd be great if they ever made the TV series out of them all

Wish it was clear to read this between 24 and 25
The story was great. Giving 3 stars because I wish it was made clear that you needed to read this book inbetween book 24 and book 25 of the series. I got into book 25 confused as to why the cliff hanger at the end of book 24 was never addressed
