Underneath Every Stone

The fifth and final whodunit in the Blackwater Bay series from Paula Gosling, author of Monkey Puzzle and winner of the CWA Golden Dagger.

It''s election time in Blackwater Bay, but there''s a dead man who won''t be casting his vote this year. An apparent murder without motive, circumstantial evidence leads Sheriff Matt Gabriel to arrest one Frog Bartlett.

Frog Bartlett is an outcast with a nasty temper. But at least one person believes him innocent – and they have enough money to anonymously finance a strong defence.

Tensions rise in the town, and a small riot occurs – and somebody else is killed. Suddenly, the Sheriff is a suspect, Chief Deputy George Putnam is in charge, and certain meddling townsfolk insist on lending a hand. Meanwhile, the killer may still be out there . . .

Underneath Every Stone is the fifth and final book in the Blackwater Bay series, following The Body in Blackwater Bay, A Few Dying Words, The Dead of Winter and Death and Shadows.
