When you look in an empty pool, you don't usually expect to see a body at the bottom but in a small town in eastern Pennsylvania called Pikesville one summer that is exactly what happens.
Pikesville is quaint community that is faced with the disappearance of a local teenager Jenna Hayes and the town is turned upside down. When Jenna is found brutally murdered at the bottom of the town's abandoned pool, the town is devastated, but to Sarah Moore, Jenna was just a girl whose name she heard around sometimes, in some circles.
What does this have to do with her? She is dealing with her own issues, anyway. But when Sarah's sister, Chloe, goes missing, Sarah must uncover a murderer before he gets to her, too, or before it's too late.

I'd never heard of the author before but decided to take part in the blog tour when I saw the cover image and read the blurb. It sounded right up my street. I really enjoyed this and I'm glad I took a chance on an unknown author. I was hooked from page one and the book held my attention every page until I reached the end. I didn't want to stop reading. I read a lot of crime fiction and this is among the best. It's very creepy and atmospheric as well. I had a great time with this.
