Death is inevitable, or is it....
George Arrow, a good-looking, independently wealthym and single man of 36, has just been diagnosed with a weak heart.
A heart so weak, his doctor tells him, he must go to extraordinary lengths to avoid putting the slightest strain upon it.
On his doctor's advice, George packs up his life in Dublin and boards a train to the Bay of Galway where he intends to live quietly in a hotel and await the inevitable end.
On the train, he meets John Burden, and as they chat, George realizes that his new acquaintance is an odious man.
So, it is with some alarm that he realizes the very unpleasant John Burden is, just like George himself, about to start a new chapter of his life at Crane's Court.
As that new life progresses, George realizes that all of his first impressions of Burden-that he is a selfish, nasty man-are entirely correct. And George is not the only person who thinks so.
So, when Burden is found dead, stabbed through the heart with a kitchen knife, it's not a matter of finding out why he was killed but of narrowing down the field of people who wanted him gone.
Inspector Mike Kenny must identify the killer, but where to start?

Historia
Callum is lured to an isolated boathouse by an attractive older woman. When she gets him alone, she knocks him out with a single blow. Surrounded by hills and lakes, Still Waters is home to a close-knit community of wealthy retirees. It's an unlikely setting for violence. The police don't take Callum's disappearance seriously: he's 24-years-old, after all. But Callum's mother, a Still Waters resident, knows that something is very wrong. Then a body is discovered floating in the lake. Head bashed in. But it's not Callum. And someone tweets: Come out to play one last time, Alice.

Historia
When a girl’s body is found strangled, raped, and horrifically mutilated by a boat’s propeller, deep in the heart of the Norfolk Broads, newly arrived Detective Inspector John Tanner is asked to assist with the investigation. At first, all the evidence points to a man who had a multi-million-pound reason to kill her. But when an alibi is produced from an unexpected source, and another body appears at the base of a slipway, Tanner finds himself turning to local girl Detective Constable Jenny Evans for help.

A pearl of classical crime

The reader's voice seemed to labour a bit which I had to get accustomed to .

This Is a Classic Whodunit!!

The characters, sketched incompletely as they were, remained unpleasant and hard to like.
If subsequent authors were influenced by this book, I can only imagine that it would be to learn how not to write a mystery
Quite the slog

In the introduction it was mentioned that Eilís had no interest in Agatha Christie’s style ... too bad ... only Agatha Christie’s wit, humor and style could’ve saved this stunningly banal writing exercise.(It would allow too much credit to refer to it as a ‘story’.). I had thought I might have found my next detective hero but sadly I will be looking elsewhere.
