Coroner John Derrick is summoned to the cozy village of Bramley to investigate a naked dead man found beneath a waterwheel. An unfortunate drowning, by all indications. But upon closer inspection, the case takes a macabre turn: The deceased is missing a certain piece of his anatomy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImpelled by the grisly discovery to uncover the culprit, John must contend with bumbling villagers in his quest for the truth. Only sixteen-year-old maid Rebecca Laurence seems to offer any help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Elizabethan England, servants rarely get a second glance. Rebecca prefers it that way, moving quietly through her world, picking up secrets like dirty clothing. Knowledge is power at a time when women are afforded little, and she deftly wields hers to protect her own clandestine affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs John wades through the evidence, Rebecca treads into dangerous waters. And if she’s not careful, she could find herself in over her head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e© 2026 by Jane Bitomsky, all rights reserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58749384622454,"sku":"9781662540585","price":8.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_43501707.jpg?v=1790194191","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781662540585-death-by-misadventure","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
