But when a third girl is found , Freya finds a clue, and instantly recognizes it as part of the soccer team uniform at the local school…

This talented author has written a cannot put down novel. Drowning little girls...in white dresses...whew...red herrings and secrets kept me guessing. The characters are realistic and keep the story moving quickly. In fact, this is a fast intriguing read...a book of fiction that reads, at times, like nonfiction, and would make a good movie albeit a sad one. Shiner does not make it easy to discern the ending and the "why" of all that happens. Do not miss this mystery. Thanks Netgalley.
