When his latest case takes him to Norfolk, he's finally found a place he can call home. Although impatient with paperwork and dismissive of inter-agency politics, he's a natural leader, hardworking, insightful and above all, willing to listen. His only weak spot is his adored wife, Isabelle, who seems to value her touring career more than her husband.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE SETTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNorfolk, as Geldard often observes, seems to have more water than land. Bordered by vast, empty beaches, it is home to the unique environment of the Broads; a network of navigable rivers and man-made lakes which date from medieval times. This wetland landscape is known for its open skies, vast waterways, and diverse wildlife. Norfolk also has some of the richest farming land in the UK, growing everything from cereals to asparagus. But this idyllic environment, as Geldard knows to his cost, can hide dark secrets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heather Peck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1805735330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781805735335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Joffe Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.60d","brand":"Heather Peck","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49002062348543,"sku":"9781805735335","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/murder-on-the-norfolk-broads-heather-peck-9781805735335","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
