Kel Richards is a veteran Australian journalist, bestselling author and broadcaster.

The year is 1935. Clive Staples Lewis (known to his friends as 'Jack') and his brother Warren ('Warnie') are visiting their young friend Tom Morris at Nesfield Cathedral School. Jack is to be the guest speaker at the school's speech night.

 They become eyewitnesses to a murder, an impossible murder.

 A man is stabbed to death by an unseen assailant, and Tom and Jack see his body fall from the rooftop . . . but the body doesn't hit the ground until the following day!

 An entertaining homage to the beloved creator of Narnia – and a celebration of the hugely popular school stories of the early twentieth century – The Floating Body reveals how Jack's nimble brain again proves invaluable to the police in their attempts to explain the seemingly impossible.

The Floating Body by Kel Richards is a thrilling mystery filled with twists and turns. Set in 1935, it follows C. S. "Jack" Lewis as he finds himself embroiled in a police investigation after witnessing what seems to be an impossible murder, where the victim's body falls from a rooftop ... but doesn't hit the ground until the next day! Although the third book [Richards](https://www.eden.co.uk/shop/search.php?filterfield=author&filtervalue=kel+richards&availabilitylist[0]=1) has written featuring C. S. Lewis, this enjoyable and exciting story is easily read as a stand-alone novel.   
  
I was captivated from the very beginning and the best bit was for the price of one novel there were two mysteries to solve. It was also a great homage to the amazing author [C.S. Lewis](https://www.eden.co.uk/shop/browse.php?department_id=5917&availabilitylist[0]=1) and his incredibly clever mind. It made me want to read The Chronicles of Narnia again and some of his essays. Even more exciting, Kel Richards is clearly very clever himself and well read, throughout he references other authors and based his work on the school stories by Charles Hamilton.   
  
If you love mysteries and perhaps grew up reading authors such as Enid Blyton or Charles Hamilton, then I cannot recommend this book enough.
