Summary
It’s not only secrets that are buried by the water.... A gripping crime thriller from best seller master Nick Louth.
On the tree-lined banks of Surrey’s River Wey, a decaying corpse is dug up by workmen in the middle of an Anglo-Saxon burial site. His modern dental fillings show that this is no Dark Age corpse....
DCI Craig Gillard is called in, but the body’s condition makes identification difficult. One man, however, seems to fit the bill: Ozzy Blanchard, a contractor employed by the same water firm doing the digging who disappeared six months ago, his crashed company car found nearby.
But then an X-ray of the corpse throws the investigation into turmoil. A shard of metal lodged in his neck turns out to be part of an Anglo-Saxon dagger unknown to archaeologists. Who wielded this mystery weapon and why? Does the answer lie in a murderous feud between two local families?
The deeper Gillard digs, the more shocking truths he will uncover.
A totally original crime mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end, The Body Beneath the Willows is an absolute thrill-ride, perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Ann Cleeves and Mark Billingham.

A wonderful masterpiece
This book has genius written through it, like seaside rock. The characters are all suspicious, and finding the perpetrator is not easy. I would urge everyone who likes thrillers to listen to this book, you will be very glad you did. Brilliantly narrated.

Enjoyed
Really like this detective. I can almost see the people. Very relatable.
Narration is excellent. Lovely voice.
Easy to tell who's speaking.
Story had several threads and unravelled slowly but it was all very cleverly done.

Brilliant Writer & Narrator Combination 👏
Well done to Nick Louth for combining different plots into many twists & turns; and
Well done to Marston York for using different, yet consistent, voices to bring the characters to life.
Thank you both...

Prophecy
Yet another excellently narrated and well research story. I have listened to all previous books and have difficulty putting them down until I reach the end. I eagerly await the next book in the series.

Another great book.
Can we have less of Sam sounding like a terrible drip? Has the narrator met any women? The interaction between Sam and Craig are excruciating make them stop.
Still a great book

A return to form for Nick Louth & Craig GIllard
I was losing hope that the author had gone so far into the realms of fantasy that I had to find another author, but this book has reversed that view. A good Nick Louth, well worth listening to.
