A novel by

 
 
She married into the perfect life. But still water runs deep—and dangerous.

I watch them every day at the pool.


Tiffanie with her designer swimsuit. The Donahue girls with their endless scrolling. Steve with his fifty perfect laps.

They don't see me watching. Don't know I'm cataloging their routines, their secrets, their carefully constructed lives.

My husband flies international routes—Singapore, London, Dubai. He's gone more than he's home. And when he is here, he's somewhere else entirely.

Someone's been moving my things. Small violations at first. Then bigger ones. My locker left open. Someone in my house while I'm gone.

Everyone thinks I'm paranoid. My mother-in-law suggests therapy. The police find no evidence. My husband thinks the stress is making me see threats that aren't there.

But then I meet Hilton.

She believes me when no one else does. She becomes the friend I desperately need. She's perfect.

Too perfect.

Still water runs deep.

And I'm about to find out what's been lurking just beneath the surface.

Still Water is a psychological thriller with plenty of twists and a deeply unsettling ending that will stay with you long after the final page.
