## Description

The basis for DEEP WATER, now a major ITV TV series, starring Anna Friel. 'One of the most hypnotically gripping books I've read in a long, long time.' TESS GERRITSEN Your friend's child is missing. It's your fault. No family is perfect. A husband, three children and a full-time job, so many plates to keep spinning. No wonder you forgot you were supposed to be looking after your friend's daughter. But no one has seen her since yesterday. And she's not the first to go missing from your small town. So who's hiding something? 'She writes with a singular voice and a passion that roars off the page . . . With a sharp, double-twist ending it announces Daly as a potential star' Daily Mail 'Fiendishly addictive' Guardian 'Riveting! Daly plunges straight into the heart of every parent's worst nightmare with page-turning results' Lisa Gardner 'The sort of book that causes you to lose half a day without even noticing' Elizabeth Haynes, author of Into the Darkest Corner

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by C***N on 8 November 2015*

Great book. The ending is so shocking. Not a predictable read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow! Mon record.....382 pages en une journée
*by B***B on 19 November 2016*

Ce livre est extraordinaire - suspens et vie quotidienne où l'on peut s'y reconnaître un peu. Sympa pour offrir (pour Noël par exemple) ou lorsqu'il pleut et on a envie de rester tranquillement chez soi (pralines, café et livre). On parle d'une investigation policière un peu hors commun. J'ai adore ce livre et si l'écrivaine en a d'autres, je n'hésiterai pas à les acheter.
