In Murder by the Waters, the fourth book in Robert Lee Hall's hilarious mystery series, crafty old Franklin and his sidekick, Nick Handy, find themselves awash in intrigue and murder in Bath, England's famous spa, where a seemingly innocent girl hides a terrible plot.

A glowingly alive evocation of the era's Sin City, a nicely mystifying puzzle, and Nick's charming narration - all make for the best of this series so far. - Kirkus Reviews
