The Rain That Washed Away the Truth | A Miss Marple Mystery

Rain, routine, and one overlooked clue. When Geoffrey Ashford is found drowned in the River Wye after eleven days of nonstop rain, the local police call it a tragic accident. But Miss Jane Marple—visiting the quiet village of Trentwick-on-Wye—notices something they don't: a pair of dry boots, still sitting by the back door. In this atmospheric English mystery, a retired insurance investigator's death becomes a quiet battlefield of secrets, inheritance, and the things people do to protect the lives they've built. No confession is signed. No witness steps forward. But Miss Marple knows: the truth is often found in what isn't said—and what wasn't washed away.
