Publisher Description
If you suspected your best friend, the person you were closest to in the whole world, was a murderer, what would you do? Would you confront her? Would you help keep her secret? Or would you begin to feel afraid? Most importantly, why don't you feel safe now that she's dead? From the author of The French Girl comes a novel full of secrets, suspense, and deadly twists.
Georgie, Lissa, and Bronwyn have been inseparable since dominating their college swim team; swimming has always been an escape from their own problems, but now their shared passion has turned deadly. How can it be true that Lissa, the strongest swimmer they know, drowned? Granted, there is something strange about Kanu Cove, where Lissa was last seen, swimming off the coast of the fabulous island resort she owned with her husband.
Lissa’s closest friends gather at the resort to honor her life, but Georgie and Bron can’t seem to stop looking over their shoulders. Danger lurks beneath the surface of the crystal-clear water, and even their luxurious private villas can’t help them feel safe. As the weather turns ominous, trapping the funeral guests together on the island, nobody knows who they can trust. Lissa’s death was only the beginning....
Customer Reviews
I loved this book
I totally recommend it 100% the plot is really interesting
Not Her Best, Not Her Worst
This book pales in comparison to the magic of “The Missing Years” but it is still entertaining enough that I finished it.
There is something intangible that is absent from this one though, I’m not sure precisely how to describe what it is.
There is not enough depth or description to make the reader identify with anyone in the story enough to make you care deeply or get particularly invested.
It is interesting and mysterious enough that I did want to at least find out what in the actual heck was going on.
The legend could’ve been told in a more creative way, and the locations could have used a bit more descriptive language, I never felt “transported” or especially connected to these characters, any of them.
It’s still better than much of what’s out there and a good way to pass through the long hours of the evening, but it’s not a book like “The Missing Years” which I’ve listened to nearly 3 times, the third pass I stopped about 3/4 of the way through simply because I remembered the ending well enough that it wasn’t necessary.
But my goodness what a phenomenal read that was.
This one’s worth reading but it does fall quite flat in certain very important and critical ways.
We need more atmosphere, the story needed to evolve and change and it’s sort of one note.
The narration was good, no complaints there.
But the story needed a bit more fleshing out, especially once you know what Lexie Elliott is really capable of.
