Still Waters is a 1949 detective novel by E.C.R. Lorac, the pen name of the British writer Edith Caroline Rivett.[1][2] It is the thirty second in her long-running series featuring Chief Inspector MacDonald of Scotland Yard, one of the more orthodox detectives of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction.[3]

Synopsis

It was one of several novels Lorac set in the Lancashire fell country around Lunesdale where she spent much of her time. It follows a woman who buys a farm near a former quarry and begins experiencing a series of strange events, and it seems she may be the victim of other potential owners of the farm who linger in the area.
