Still Water

Some secrets sink. Some secrets are kept by the water.Martin Lowe teaches geography at a tired northern university and goes home each night to a wife who barely looks up from her phone. So he fishes. He dives. And once a week, in a lay-by above the reservoir, he meets Rachel.One night, from the dark of the car, they see something they were never meant to see.Days later a student is dragged from the water, and it is Martin, on a club dive, who finds her. He knows who did it. He knows he can prove it. But the truth would expose the affair and shatter two families.He thinks he is the only one in the house with a secret. He is wrong.For readers of Louise Doughty, Clare Mackintosh and Gillian McAllister.
