Ian and Andi were the golden couple at Glenlake Academy. 20 years later, they are still together, living in a beautiful house, working on their own businesses and their oldest daughter is a senior at Glenlake. When a car and the body of a former teacher are found in a lake near the school, Ian and Andi are pulled back into their senior year and the few months of turmoil that only a few remember.
Drowning With Others is a wonderful character study of a family. Andi is a poet at heart and always has been. Ian is more of the brawn, with a bit of a simmering pot of rage underneath. Cassidy is a smart, funny young adult who wants to be successful and to make everyone proud.
While I could say that this is a 'thriller', I would put this more into the 'domestic fiction' category. It's more about a family, about students, about a young girl and the power of teachers - both good and bad.
The young man attends Glenn lake academy.its tradition in past for seniors lure freshmen into jumping off lifeguard tower. With that blocked off a new tradition is formed to jump off the cliff. But secrets arise when a cracked skull is found in the water.
Brilliant, well written and highly tense. Well done. I’d definitely recommend this to my friends and family x
An excellent thriller that really draws you in. I was immersed in the storyline and couldn't stop reading well past my bedtime. Highly recommended.
** spoiler alert ** I liked this more than I expected... and I mean no disrespect in that. Just that family drama isn't really my thing,and I felt there was a fair bit of it in the book.
Told over two timelines,one trying to solve a 20 year old murder,the other twenty years before that and the events that led up to it.
I say murder,nobody knows if it was murder or not.
The characters all slowly revealed themselves in the parts set in the past,and the future sections set them all in pace.
I think I'd have liked it more,if the ending hadn't been so unbelievable.
When you've got a cast of characters with enough reason to kill,why make up another?
Other than that,decently paced,decent characters,decent all round.
