In der Tiefe by Elizabeth Heathcote

4.0

There is a moral to this story – don’t go looking at other people’s emails and snooping into the past if you can’t face what you find. If you keep digging you will find something and it will poison the present. OK – preaching over!
A fairly recently married woman, Carmen, has her suspicions piqued by a chance comment by a boy at a bus stop who says that the woman who drowned a few years ago was probably murdered by her husband. Guess who Carmen is married to?
Weirdly up until this point Carmen did not seem to have been at all alarmed, or interested, by the fact that her husband’s previous lover had drowned. However she can’t leave it alone now and goes through old laptops, telephones strangers and remembers his violent tendencies.
I won’t spoil the story which is a fast paced thriller with a couple of twists which meant it was not quite as simplistic as I had originally feared. An enjoyable read for those that enjoyed ‘The Girl on the Train’, ‘I Let You Go’ and ‘The Kind Worth Killing’.
