Description
'An eerie and atmospheric mystery that kept me guessing from start to finish' Allie Reynolds, author of Shiver
One year ago, Leah's twenty-one-year-old niece, Amy, mysteriously drowned near her family-owned luxury resort on the shores of Lake Garda.
Now, returning to Italy for the first time since Amy's death, Leah is shocked to find her family seem to have erased all reminders of Amy. Despite the murky circumstances, they insist her death was an accident but Leah knows she must look deeper if she is to uncover the truth.
Meanwhile, in Derby, university counsellor Joanna is recovering from a surprising break-up when she is swept off her feet by a handsome bartender. But after she invites him into her home, Joanna is forced to accept that she doesn't know him as well as she thought.
What follows is a propulsive game of cat-and mouse as both women begin to realise that appearances can be deceptive - and that the darkest secrets often lie closest to home.

Completely loved this book! The pacing is perfection - drawing you in to the lives of the fascinating protagonists as the tension builds and builds. Absolutely masterful! Cannot recommend this highly enough.

Nine months ago, Leah's twenty-one-year-old niece, Amy, mysteriously drowned near her family-owned luxury resort on the shores of Lake Garda. Now, Leah is returning to Italy for the first time since Amy's death. But what she finds upon her arrival shocks her: her sister, brother-in-law, and surviving niece, Olivia, seem to have erased all reminders of Amy, and insist her death was an accidental drowning, despite murky circumstances. Leah knows she must look beyond the resort's beautiful façade if she is to uncover the truth of that night. The plot is perfectly paced, holds your interest, and keeps you guessing. It’s a page turner, for sure!

A great mystery focusing on the drowning of the protagonist’s sister and it’s confusing aftermath with parallel storylines that come to a deeply satisfying conclusion.
