Utterly Rafted

It begins with two deaths. The body of a young woman is found, so peaceful she could be sleeping. The other, a ferocious murder beyond the railway lines at Stowmarket. Soon three apprentice carpenters are catapulted into the dangerous world of illegal hare coursing and drug abuse in the south Suffolk countryside. The characters find themselves embroiled in a dark and dangerous underworld, stretching from Wattisham to Hadleigh, Sudbury to Bury St Edmunds, and beyond the Orwell Bridge. All this is played out against a backdrop of manuscript restoration, totem pole carving and preparation for the annual raft race at Needham Market. Pauline Manders has drawn on her love of the Suffolk countryside to create a fresh, fast paced, witty crime novel. Her quirky, fallible main characters, previously encountered in Utterly Explosive and Utterly Fuelled, lead the reader through to a page turner of a finale.
