The Dark Water: A Twisty Locked-Room Murder Mystery You Won't See Coming (The West Yorkshire Crime Thrillers)
Product Information
Product Description
He never turned around.Whoever came for Danny Frost, on his own boat, in his own cabin, on a quiet mooring outside Leeds, got close enough to swing before he ever saw it coming—one blow. No struggle. No warning in his own eyes.The cabin door is bolted and locked from the inside. For DCI George Beaumont, that's the whole case in one impossible line: a man murdered in a room nobody could have left. And the harder George looks at Danny Frost, the less there is to find. No family. No history. No name that holds up past six years ago. Somebody built him a life good enough to vanish into. Somebody has just taken it apart.Forty boats' worth of neighbours saw nothing that night. And as George pulls at the marina's careful silence, he finds old grudges, old money, and older secrets, all of them circling a dead man nobody really knew—and every thread leading back to the same narrow stretch of water. Because Woodlesford protects its own—it always has. George is about to find out exactly how far that runs, and how long it's been going on.Some doors don't need a lock to stay shut.Set within the suburbs of Leeds, West Yorkshire, this fast-paced British detective novel is a crime thriller that will keep you guessing until the end.The Dark Water is the twenty-seventh book in the Detective George Beaumont thriller series.Subscribe to my newsletter for free access to novella 0: The Beast of Belle Isle: A George Beaumont Prequelhttps://leebrookauthor.aweb.page/p/cfff8220-7312-4e37-b61a-b1c6c2d15fc2Detective Sergeant George BeaumontBook 1: THE POSTMASTER’S WIFEBook 2: Coming December 2026Detective Inspector Isabella WoodBook 1: MURDER AT BRANDLING HOUSEThe Complaints Department: A Brandling House Cosy Crime MysteryBook 1: FROM A WELL-WISHERWest Yorkshire Crime ThrillersBook 1: THE MISS MURDERERBook 2: THE BONE SAW RIPPERBook 3: THE BLONDE DELILAHBook 4: THE CROSS FLATTS SNATCHERBook 5: THE MIDDLETON WOODS STALKERBook 6: THE NAUGHTY LIST - a completely new version of The Naughty List, entirely re-written with a new plot!Book 7: THE FOOTBALLER AND THE WIFEBook 8: THE NEW FOREST VILLAGE BOOK CLUBNovella 1: MISSING: MICHELLE CROMACKBook 9: THE KILLER IN THE FAMILYBook 10: THE STOURTON STONE CIRCLENovella 2: A HALLOWEEN TO REMEMBER: THE LEEDS VAMPIRENovella 3: ECHOES OF THE RIPPER: THE LONG SHADOWBook 11: THE WEST YORKSHIRE RIPPERBook 12: THE SHADOWS OF YULETIDEBook 13: THE SHADOWS OF THE PASTBook 14: THE ECHOES OF SILENCEBook 15: BENEATH THE SURFACEBook 16: THE STALKER’S TWISTED GAMEBook 17: THE VIGILANTE’S VERDICTBook 18: A HARVEST OF SORROWBook 19: THE ANGEL OF DEATHBook 20: THE TWELVE DEATHS OF CHRISTMASBook 21: THE KIRKSTALL ABBEY MURDERSBook 22: THE TINGLEY RESERVOIR MURDERSBook 23: THE KNIFE IN THE DARKBook 24: THE SNOW GLOBE MURDERSBook 25: THIRTY PIECES OF SILVERBook 26: FOREVER SEVENBook 27: THE DARK WATERBook 28: Coming October 2026 Read more
