From Little Stack

What better time than spring to pick out a stunning, suspenseful and unforgettable debut novel by a new author? After The Storm was one of my top reads of 2024 and I can’t quite describe how brilliant it is!

When Andrew and Sophie take their daughter and her friend to the beach on a stormy day, they are momentarily distracted, leading both children to get washed out to sea. Andrew dives in, but comes back ashore with only one child - his own daughter. It was just a tragic accident… wasn’t it?

An emotional, gripping and all-consuming read, and one of those books you’ll never, ever forget. One of my absolute favourites!

Publisher Description

Don't miss the gripping debut crime novel in which a child's tragic drowning rips a small community apart with devastating consequences…

TWO CHILDREN WENT INTO THE SEA. When Andrew and Sophie take their daughter and her friend to the beach on a stormy day, they are momentarily distracted and both children are washed out to sea. Andrew dives in, but comes back ashore with only one child – Maria, his own daughter. Joe, the son of his best friend and local police officer, Chris, has drowned. But it was just a tragic accident…wasn't it?

ONLY ONE CAME OUT ALIVE. As Sergeant Mike Adams and DS Sue Willmott investigate what really happened in the water that afternoon, the ripple effects of the tragedy tear the community apart. The detectives must discover the truth before their colleague – bereaved and desperate father, Chris – takes the investigation into his own hands…

BUT WHO IS TO BLAME?

My stories generally involve a 'worst case scenario' that lends itself to putting readers through the emotional wringer.
