Swirling Waters


Book Description

"Swirling Waters" by Max Rittenberg Rittenberg made a name for himself as a detective writer and "Swirling Waters" is one of his most famous books. The book opens up with a costly mystery, but it's not just money that's on the line. The mystery seems to make a game out of its resolution. England around the turn of the century served as a perfect backdrop for mystery stories from countless authors, but Rittenberg is able to capture its essence and the way the hazy, rainy weather can affect ambiance better than anyone.
