About this listen

Doctor Rowan Dupont knows death. She grew up surrounded by it in her family’s Victorian funeral home, and it’s haunted her since the day her twin sister drowned years ago. Between her mother’s subsequent suicide and the recent murder of her father, coming home to run the funeral home feels fitting - even if it leaves her vulnerable to an obsessive serial killer.

Rowan refuses to let fear keep her from honoring her family. But the more time she spends back in Winchester, Tennessee, the more she finds herself questioning what really happened that fateful summer. Had her sister’s death truly been an accident? And what pushed their mother to take her own life?

The dark lake surrounding Rowan’s hometown holds as many secrets as the bodies that float in its chilling depths. But Rowan is running out of time if she’s going to uncover the truth before somebody sinks her for good.

This is a very slow starter, which doesn't say much for the main character since she narrates most of the story. As a likeable character she never reaches beyond lukewarm. For a psychiatrist, Dr. Rowan Dupont is incredibly unaware of both her own and other's real motivations.
The plot did make me wonder if the story was being told by an unreliable witness. By the middle of the book there were enough twists and turns to make it nearly exhausting. To avoid spoiling it for other readers, I'll admit enough curiosity to finish the book. Once finished I hoped this didn't have a sequel. Unfortunately there is which I'll happily skip.
Debra Webb is an author I've enjoyed before which led to this purchase.
Mystery readers, save your credit on this one.

Great story and overall good performance. Narration brought to light a pet peeve I was not aware that I have. She pronounces the word else like “eltse”. There are many, many occurrences of this word in this story. I’m not usually one to get hung up on details like this, but for some reason I found it particularly cringeworty in this story. Anyways- the story itself was great and I’d recommend it despite that small issue.

Kept my interest

Unputdownable

I normally enjoy Debra Webb books, but not this one. I was extremely bored with the story and apparently, so was the narrator as she read the story like she needed a nap. The plot was slow to form and the book is probably longer than it should be.

Boring
