Great detectives needed!
A mystery is waiting to be solved in
Salcombe
Duncan Under, the local swimming attendant in Salcombe, has been found floating in Batson Creek… and not in a good way! It's not known if his demise was due to foul play, but he had been busy organizing a swimming race between the Salcombe Swimmers and the North Devon Dippers. The local police are floating the idea that the two may be connected. They have put together a list of suspects, but they need outsiders to help solve the mystery. Chief Inspector Anya Marks needs top detectives (YOU!) to submerge themselves into these inquiries and solve the case. She has a sinking feeling about this one - so buoy her up by dampening someone's day!
