Quote: "The Flatlands did little to lift Sam Hyatt out of his fatigued state."
Some parts of the British coast consist of low, damp, flat, marshy land. Some find these wetlands scientifically interesting; many have found them depressing. Here is a mystery novel written to reflect both points of view.
Unfortunately, what I have is not the novel. Book Funnel allows people to send out the first few chapters of a novel as an e-book in hopes that that will tempt people to buy the whole book. The first few chapters have traditionally been used by publishers to determine whether they want to bother reading the whole manuscript, but the publishing house's readers are getting paid to read just a few chapters of each of a lot of books.
I can't really recommend a book marketed this way, but I can tell you that I've read a long story by this writer, and she can write. If you like murder mysteries and the Fens or Flatlands, you might want to buy the whole book.
