From Alosha135 - 5 word prompt: beautiful, ice, dead, small, lonely

"What beautiful countryside," Watson commented as he looked out at the hills rolling past the train window. "A little lonely though..."

"That's why I invited you," Holmes replied. "Though I do enjoy Sussex, Watson, it can be dreadfully dull sometimes. Although..."

"Yes?"

"A man turned up dead recently."

Watson's raised an eyebrow. "How terrible."

"Yes, yes of course it is," Holmes agreed hastily. Then, "The Police say he drowned under the ice."

"Indeed. And what do you say?"

"That they're wrong, as usual. I don't suppose you'd care to-?"

"I wouldn't miss it for the world, Holmes."
