A DI Nyree Bradshaw Crime Thriller
|
"A truly compelling book, full of atmosphere and with an unforgettable main character" - Elly Griffiths, bestselling author of the Ruth Galloway series.
The chin tattoo confirms the victim in Māori. The whorls of ink from her lower lip to her chin - the moko - is worn only by Māori women.
So her ethnicity is a given.
Finding who murdered her and dumped her body in the pool at the base of Mason's Rock waterfall is DI Nyree Bradshaw's latest case. From the strangely unsympathetic parents to the belligerent boyfriend on home detention for drugs, it seems everyone has something to hide, and no one is telling the truth.
Then Nyree discovers six-year-old diabetic, Lily Holmes is missing, last seen in the victim's care. Now Myree must find the killer to save Lily.
The clock is ticking.
She had already failed her own son. She cannot fail this child.

The Water's Dead is not your average police procedural mystery, it's a riveting story you won't be able to put down. Not only Catherine Lea's writing skills will take you to New Zealand and immerse you into the culture, but the fleshed-out characters will take you along for the ride searching for the missing girl while solving the murder of her babysitter.
--J.H. Bográn, author of Poisoned Tears
Catherine Lea is a gifted writer whose novel allows an insight into the world of New Zealand and the Māori. The Water's Dead is the mystery of a murdered young Māori girl and the investigative and psychological journey of Detective Inspector Nyree Bradshaw and her challenges to solve the crime. The writing is crisp, the settings vivid, and the characters memorable. I strongly recommend this novel for its sheer enjoyment.
--Arthur Kerns, author of Days of the Hunters out in 2020, The Riviera Contract, The African Contract, and The Yemen Contract.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really enjoyed this book!
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2021
Wow! I really enjoyed this book. I had as much trouble keeping all the events and evidence straight as the main character, Nyree, did. In a good way. It made the ending way more interesting and not predictable. And the New Zealand setting made it even more fascinating.
I hope this is going to be a series. I really liked her Elizabeth McClain
