Shadow’s Peak

The Fifth Buxton Spa Mystery. Early on a summer morning in June 1923, a beautiful young woman is found lying face down in a shallow ornamental lake in the Pavilion Gardens in Buxton, with no identification. The post mortem report concludes that she drowned, but eliminates all the possible reasons as to how or why this might have happened. The young woman’s death presents an irresistible puzzle for Eleanor Harriman, a local solicitor, who keeps asking questions until she is satisfied that she knows the truth.
