Again a grateful thanks to #NetGalley for letting me read this book in exchange for my unbiased opinion. I can safely say that I absolutely loved this book and just found out that there are others out there that I will definitely buy. It pretty much checked all the boxes for a great mystery: locale (East Anglia and Cambridge) which I am very familiar with; the characters which feature Alex Devlin who has a very varied group of family members; more than one murder and last but not least probably the book which has the least involved detectives who only show up around 3 times and only one of them has a speaking part (very limited).
Now after all this praise a little disappointment must be mentioned. 85% into the book there are about 5-7 red herrings that must be accounted for and I believe that the author got off a little light with some of the explanations. Yes it was good that they got tied into the story but some of them deserved more space. I really liked this book and will definitely recommend it to others.

I found Dark Waters to be an exciting and thrilling novel. While this is the third instalment in the Alex Devlin series, having not read the previous two it didn’t spoil the story (although I will now have to go and read the previous two!).

The storyline features topics such as suicide, murder and mental health and are covered very well. Mary-Jane Riley tells the story in an engaging way, with just enough suspense to keep you guessing and immersed in the story.

The characters are great and are an eclectic mix, with their own unique flaws and strengths. The character progression is excellent.

Dark Waters is a fascinating and exciting psychological thriller with some great twists and turns that will have you awake all night reading.

Looking for fresh insight into her story about internet suicide forums, journalist Alex Devlin begins to look into the recent deaths of two men found on a boat; they appear to have entered some sort of suicide pact. But the research Alex does uncovers information that casts doubt on the story that the men killed themselves. This is a creepy story that reminds us all too well of the dangers to be found lurking online
