When a new disability ruins Emily's life and family turns her out, she finds herself forced into a nomadic life on a narrowboat. With very little money and even less physical stamina, she doesn't know if she has it in her to forge a whole new future on her own.

In the idyllic surroundings of the British waterways, as she moves from place to place she encounters a series of small mysteries. Can she solve them and find a new purpose for herself in the process? Or must a missing person remain lost and the case of the body in the lock remain unsolved?

Half cozy mystery and half fond ode to the narrowboat life, 'The Boat of Small Mysteries,' is a charming tale of resilience and intuition, sure to appeal to anyone who enjoys BBC Four's Canal Boat Diaries, or the gentle adventures of Alexander McCall Smith's The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency books.
