About this ebook

‘I will never forget the night I drowned…’

 

Seventeen-year-old Eleanor Parker wakes up cold and alone in the river that twists through her quiet village. She remembers a hand on her chest, another on her head, water in her throat, those final gasps for air…

 

Her brother’s girlfriend was drowned in the same river the summer before, held under the water by an unknown killer.

 

Determined to unlock the mystery of what really happened that night, Eleanor can't escape the feeling that something terrible links her to the previous summer's murder. But will she discover the shocking truth, before it’s too late?

 

A gripping and extraordinary coming of age novel that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Thank you, NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review! Eleanor Parker wakes up in a river and can't remember how she got there - drenched clothes, bruised chest. She feels nothing, and senses little. Ellie as she is called by many, cannot feel physical pain, her skin is grey, and she can hardly smell anything. Everyone can see her and it's as if life is just moving forward normally. Is she or isn't she really dead? If she is dead, who would have killed her? Plenty of people around her sure have a motive to see Eleanor's life come to an end. Was it her best friend, her boyfriend, her own brother maybe? This psychological thriller entices you from the first page and keeps you drawn in the whole way through. This book is absolutely everything a psychological thriller should be. I could not put it down. Every secret slowly comes unraveled to leave you guessing until the very end when it all shockingly comes together.
