The Woman in the Water

How do I keep my family safe, when I don’t know why we’re in danger?


When I get the call, the promise I made to myself to never return to Brightwater is shattered in an instant. The police tell me that my sister Holly slipped and drowned near the old boardwalk, that she was found floating in the dark water of the lake. I am now all my little nieces have left and I need to come home right away, to care for them.


But I know Holly would never have gone out on the water by choice.


As I approach the sign to Brightwater, painful memories start to flood back—of former friends, of my first heartbreak, of dangerous secrets I’d rather forget. Because deep down I know Holly’s death wasn’t an accident. It was a warning. A warning directly aimed at me and those I care about.


I always thought it was just me and Holly who knew what happened all those years ago. But it is clear someone else knows. And they want to make us pay.


But what if the little girls are next? I know I have to protect them. But there are secrets out there in the water. And every one of them could tear our family apart…


An absolutely gripping, twisty psychological thriller that will keep you turning the pages late into the night. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, The Woman in the Window and The Silent Patient.
