About the Book

Christmas Day, Kent, 1796 When an unidentifiable body is discovered in the ice-covered pond of the empty manor house, it soon becomes clear that foul play was involved and the villagers of St Mary fear a murderer amongst them. Local law enforcement is distracted by the ongoing smuggling runs between Dover and Calais, and the victim's servant status doesn't warrant great attention so it falls to the Reverend Hardcastle in his new appointment as justice of the peace to investigate. But with the identity of the victim unknown, no murder weapon and no motive, this seems like an impossible mission. Employing the help of his trusted friend, Amelia Chaytor, Hardcastle begins the process - and soon discovers there's more to the mystery than he first thought. The Body in the Ice, with its unique cast of characters, captivating amateur sleuths and a generations-long family feud at its heart, is a twisting tale that vividly brings to life eighteenth-century Kent and draws readers into its pages.
