Clare Chase Death on the River Tara Thorpe mystery 2

Death on the River is the second in the Tara Thorpe Mystery Series by author Clare Chase. I really like the character of Tara Thorpe who lives to herself on the outer commons of Cambridge. She was an investigative journalist but after her involvement in helping to solve a murder in her community, she decided to study for a career in police investigations. Tara is very competent and willing to go beyond her comfort zone to find hidden answers.  She is approached by the sister of Ralph Shawcross, an author with very disconcerting views on life and death. shawcross was killed when he drove his car off the road and into a watery ravine. Was it an accident or a cleverly planned murder? Soon more questions arise as Tara seeks additional information from the author's acolytes and followers.  Tara must prove herself a worthy investigator even when she has opposition within her own office. I did find the reason for Ralphs accident a bit "Out-There'. Who would have thought to do that?
