The Darkwater Bride

Catriona Miller travels from Scotland to London to identify the body of her father, a respectable businessman pulled dead from the Thames. The official account does not hold up, and the deeper she looks, the more the city's respectable surface gives way to a hidden trade in secrets, exploitation, and corruption.

Aided by Detective Culley, who pursues the case against his superiors' wishes, Catriona is drawn toward the legend of the Darkwater Bride: a spectral woman said to lure men into the river with a kiss. What begins as a murder investigation slides into a ghost story, and the truth about the drowned men proves inseparable from the wrongs done to the woman they destroyed.

Written by Marty Ross as a full-cast Audible Original drama, The Darkwater Bride braids the Victorian mystery thriller together with the Victorian ghost tale, and its horror is as much social as supernatural.
