A hidden house, a secret camera, and a bloated corpse – driven to his death or murdered by design.

While on paternity leave, Tanner is told of a suicide victim found inside a remote coastal dwelling. But when it emerges that someone may have watched the man take his own life – and more bodies are found, some photographed moments before their deaths – Tanner is forced back to work to protect the lives of those around him.

Set within the mysterious beauty of the Norfolk Broads, this fast-paced British detective series is a dark cozy Norfolk murder mystery with a slice of humour and a touch of romance, one that will have you guessing until the very end, when the last shocking twist is finally revealed.
