Something in the Water by Catherine Steadman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was an enjoyable book and I do recommend it as a page turning thriller. My only real issues with it are that it has the trope of a daft new wife who is rather obliviously played by those around her and that the big twist was too easy to see coming. I really like for a thriller to lead the reader along paths so that there are multiple options for what the answer may be but then the conclusion take you by surprise anyway. I don't think this one did that for me. Maybe I've been reading too many thrillers this year so I'm thinking in line with how they are set up instead of just taking it all in and enjoying the experience. There are definitely a lot of things positive about this book, so it was okay.
