A bog body found in the Lake District of Britain sets off a hunt for a long lost poem by Wordsworth about Fletcher Christian of Mutiny on the Bounty fame. Jane Gresham, a poetry scholar, has long believed that Christian did not die when thought but, returned to England and that his friend Wordsworth set in a poem his account of the mutiny. As several people search for this poem, each with his or her own motives, suspicious deaths begin to occur and Jane finds herself a suspect.
As usual, McDermid writes a a taut thriller keeping you in suspense and involved in finding the answers to the mystery. An excellent read.
