by Nadia Brennan (2) Read reviews
A body washes up on a coastal town's only working pier, and Detective Rosa Quill discovers that everyone already knows something she does not.
When a body washes up on the pier at Ardmore Bay, Detective Rosa Quill expects a drowning. What she finds instead is a town that has quietly agreed on a version of events, and a fishing community whose silence has been rehearsed for years.
The first Harbour Line novel is a procedural about the things small communities decide not to say aloud, and about a detective who is frequently, and expensively, wrong.
Nadia Brennan spent eleven years as a court reporter before writing fiction, and the habit of watching people under pressure never left her. Her Harbour Line novels follow a small-town detective through cases that are less about who did it than about what a community will agree not to notice.
She published her first novel independently after two years of near-misses with agents, and has written the series on her own terms since. She still keeps her shorthand notebooks.

The first sixty pages take their time. After that I read it in two sittings.
