The second enthralling Detective Inspector Christy Kennedy mystery by
PAUL CHARLES
The body of Doctor Edmund Godfrey Berry is discovered at the bottom of the Regent’s Canal, in the heart of Kennedy’s patch of Camden Town, north london. Did Dr Berry iump, or was he pushed? And does his
" death have anything to do with the mysterious demise of teacher and Berry’s former patient, Susanne Collins?
last Boat To Camden Town combines Whodunnit? Howdunnit? and love Story with Paul Charles’ trademark unique-method-of- murder to produce a detective story with a difference.
