Shallow Water

Amanda J. Clay

"It's like reading Gillian Flynn with a romance." Berkeley Publishing. It's been eight years since Clara left her suffocating hometown of Pt. Redwood on California's rural Mendocino coast.

She swore she'd never go back. Not after what happened graduation night.

But when her estranged mother suffers a stroke, she has no choice but to return, coming face-to face with her traumatic past--including her best friend's murder and Sean, the lover she abandoned.

When another young girl is found dead--her death identical to that of the eight-year-old cold case--Clara and Sean find themselves at the center of the investigation and wading through the trenches of their own psychological damage.

★★★★★ "A brilliant mystery that had me at the edge of my seat!"

★★★★★ "Nail-biting and steamy. Clara and Sean are complex characters you really route for."

★★★★★ "You will fall in love with Clara. She's raw, both tough and tender, and unapologetically bad ass."
