The Drowning Girls

Something deadlier than secrets lies beneath the surface in this atmospheric, heart-pounding new psychological thriller.

Following their father's death, Cass and her sister Sid will do whatever it takes to keep their family's dive school afloat.

It used to be the go-to destination in Cornwall for those keen to explore the ocean's hidden depths. But when Cass returns from a long trip, she's shocked to discover how bad things have become.

The business is in decline. Sid's new boyfriend has far too much control over the accountsβ€”and her sister.

Then, Cass discovers a body in the water. And as more girls go missing, she wonders just how far someone will go to keep their secrets buried...
