*A TIMES CRIME CLUB PICK OF THE WEEK*
‘This book had a bit of everything! Suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, a few crazy twists…a great whodunnit!’ Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Everyone in this town has a secret. But who holds the key to the loch…?
Twenty years ago, three young women disappeared, never to be found. The rumour to this day is that their bodies are still hidden deep within the murky Loch Aven.
When Eleanor, Clio and Michaela find themselves rained out of a camping trip in the Scottish countryside, they have no option but to book the mysterious house nestled on the banks of the lake. But little do they know that history has a way of repeating itself.
As secrets in the tightknit community begin to surface, and Michaela suddenly disappears, it becomes clear that something sinister is at play. And now it’s a race against time to unravel the mystery before the dark waters claim their next victim…
A claustrophobic, eerie and atmospheric thriller perfect for fans of Lucy Foley and Sarah Pearse.
