Introducing Jack Johnson and Nina Wilde. A chance meeting on the towpath, and trouble seems to follow …

Jack Johnson, ex-journalist, newly divorced and feeling unmoored, has bought a 64-foot narrowboat with absolutely no idea how to captain it. So when an attractive stranger takes pity on his dismal attempts and comes aboard to assist him manoeuvre, Jack is only too happy to make her welcome. But it’s soon apparent that Nina is keeping her own secrets and when they stumble into a murder investigation the past begins to intrude. What’s Nina afraid of? And who is stalking the towpaths?

Andy Griffee is a former BBC journalist and media consultant with a fascination for stories. He began his journalism career at the Bath Evening Chronicle, and then spent twenty-five years at the BBC, culminating in his role as Editorial Director of the redevelopment of Broadcasting House. Andy lives in Worcestershire and, when he isn’t writing, rears rare breed pigs, struggles to keep a 1964 Triumph Spitfire on the road and enjoys hiring narrowboats with his wife.
My thoughts:
Inspired by real life crimes on Britain’s canals, these were enjoyable, very well written, cleverly constructed books and I thoroughly enjoyed reading them.
The author’s past career as a journalist lends insight into Jack’s own methods and his knowledge of how to craft a good story shines through. The characters are likeable and the investigations they undertake are interesting and realistic.
