About this listen
It's not only secrets that are buried by the water… A gripping crime thriller from bestseller master Nick Louth
On the tree-lined banks of Surrey's River Wey, a decaying corpse is dug up by workmen in the middle of an Anglo-Saxon burial site. His modern dental fillings show that this is no Dark Age corpse...
DCI Craig Gillard is called in, but the body's condition makes identification difficult. One man, however, seems to fit the bill: Ozzy Blanchard, a contractor employed by the same water firm doing the digging who disappeared six months ago, his crashed company car found nearby.
But then an X-ray of the corpse throws the investigation into turmoil. A shard of metal lodged in his neck turns out to be part of an Anglo-Saxon dagger unknown to archaeologists. Who wielded this mystery weapon and why? Does the answer lie in a murderous feud between two local families?
The deeper Gillard digs, the more shocking truths he will uncover.
A totally original crime mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end, The Body Amongst the Willows is an absolute thrill-ride, perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Ann Cleeves and Mark Billingham.

Back to clever detective work
Thank goodness
Less gore and more clever plot twists. Much more of an improvement. Really liked this one.

Brilliant Writer & Narrator Combination 👏
Well done to Nick Louth for combining different plots into many twists & turns; and
Well done to Marston York for using different, yet consistent, voices to bring the characters to life.
Thank you both...

An excellent listen
I've just re-listened to this story and it was a pleasure. For me, this installment is only second to the last book (Shadows). I much prefer those which aren't very disturbing like the one involving Gillard's aunts or a serial killer (Bridge).
The narration is simply excellent.

Another great crime thriller by Nick Louth
what I love most about Nick Mouth's crime thrillers are that the plot and main characters are so believable . The personal background sub stories add to the reality of the character's lives. The narration is perfect. On to the next one in the series...

Another good read
I enjoyed the next instalment in the Gillard series. Unlike other reviews, I didn't find the reference to Covid spoiled the narration, and the references to restrictions were woven into the plot.

A definite return to top form!
While I didn't mind the previous book as much as some reviewers, it was still a weird departure within a previously excellent series, and would have been much better as a standalone novel.
This one follows the original series arc, and is a brilliant latest installment, which keeps you guessing to the very end.
Fabulous characterisation by Marston York, as always.
