Summary

The truth lies just beneath the surface…

*With exclusive audio content.*

Kate's world falls apart when her teenage son drowns in the waters by his school. She’s convinced it wasn’t just a tragic accident, but no one will listen.

Then, six years later, Kate unearths Michael’s lost diary and realises she may finally be able uncover what really happened that night.

But as she delves deeper, she begins to realise that she didn’t really know her son – or the people in his life – at all. And that, sometimes, secrets are better left submerged…

An absorbing, emotionally-charged and addictive page-turner that will keep you gripped into the dark hours, perfect for fans of Linda Green and Teresa Driscoll.

'An intelligent and thought-provoking story that combines psychological thrills with the heartfelt emotions of a grieving mother, with a great cast of characters, this book is highly recommended’ Louise Douglas, author of The House by the Sea

Slow build into a gripping page-turner

I initially struggled with the dark place this book began in but, as the story progressed it soon turned into a thrilling read that I couldn’t stop listening to. The author is excellent at setting the scenes and bringing the book to life through her descriptions. The attention to detail in the back story is great and compels the reader/listener to really place themselves into the main characters shoes. Thoroughly enjoyed this book and will recommend.
