This novel is about a small town in England that has experienced many deaths by drowning in a local river. The characters that have died all seem to be women and the first character is drowned as a witch. There are current deaths that have not been ruled suicide, accident or murder. That is what the novel is taking us through.
There are many characters in this novel, but I found that really smart. We really come to understand each character and the interplay involved in trying to find out whether the recent deaths were committed or not.
There are many underlying currents within this story. Sisters hating each other, affairs taking place (or having took place), teenage angst, etc.
There were a few really unanswered questions in the end, but I thought that this was well written and it certainly kept me reading.
