How many lives will be lost before something is done?
The River Alder bodes a notorious threat. The local police are over-stretched and under-resourced.
With each life that is pulled into the river's depths, journalist Lauren Holmes becomes more suspicious and more determined to bring the truth to the surface.
Her police sergeant fiancé is well-placed to help her. Yet he is committed to maintaining police reputation and is happy to accept each death recorded as 'drunken misadventure.'
Can Lauren get to the bottom of the deaths without risking her own 'accident?'

I've read a few of the authors books now and have really enjoyed them. I like thrillers and her work is usually a bit different from run of the mill. The Yorkshire Dipper is no exception. The title is a cheesy rip on The Yorkshire Ripper, and I shouldn't like it, but it somehow works. I found this very entertaining and it held my attention from start to finish. I liked the fact there are different character POV's and the chapters alternate between them, so you gradually work out what's going on in chunks. Like all good thrillers there are twists and turns, misdirection and unreliable narration. This is worth a read.
