Swimming in the Shadows

A young woman's past is about to catch up with her in this gripping tale of romantic suspense with "a chilling yet satisfying ending" (Publishers Weekly).

Susan McCarthy is a health center manager in the Yorkshire Dales, engaged to be married to geography teacher Rob Dugdale. Her life couldn't be happier. Except Susan McCarthy isn't Susan McCarthy at all, but Jennifer Reynolds, a young woman who has succeeded in escaping a deeply unhappy past.

Then a TV program is broadcast examining the mystery of three women who disappeared without trace, one of them being Jennifer Reynolds. The following day, a local teenage girl is found dead, and the town becomes the center of a major murder enquiry. With her fiancé Rob under suspicion, and her fears that she'll be recognized from the increasing national press coverage, Jennifer is terrified that the idyllic new life she has worked so hard to achieve is about to be destroyed.

When more bodies are unearthed, Jennifer realizes that in order to discover the truth she will have to revisit her troubled past—and put herself in grave danger in the process.
