Summary

What did her son do in the woods last night? Does a mother really want to know?

It’s what Sarah Ellsworth dreamed of. Marriage to her childhood sweetheart, Martin. Living in a historic mansion in Pennsylvania’s most exclusive borough. And Finn, a teenage son with so much promise. Until...A call for help in the middle of the night leads Sarah and Martin to the woods, where they find Finn, injured, dazed, and weeping near his girlfriend’s dead body. Convinced he’s innocent, Sarah and Martin agree to protect their son at any cost and not report the crime.

But there are things Sarah finds hard to reconcile: a cover-up by Martin’s family that’s so unnervingly cold-blooded. Finn’s lies to the authorities are too comfortable, too proficient, not to arouse her suspicions. Even the secrets of the old house she lives in seem to be connected to the incident. As each troubling event unfolds, Sarah must decide how far she’ll go to save her perfect life.

Critic reviews

“An unsparing account of ‘rich people problems’ that goes on forever, like all the best nightmares.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“[A] nail-biting psychological thriller.... Reinard knows how to keep readers turning the pages.” (Publishers Weekly)

Sweet Water is electrically suspenseful, impossible to put down until the last gut punch of a killer ending.” (Luanne Rice, New York Times best-selling author)

Not worth it

Pretty dreadful main first person character completely irritating and story very long winded took a long boring self involved route to get to the end. Would not recommend

Terribly boring. I gave up half way

Really dull story with unsuccessful use of flashbacks. The narrator does not help at all, just makes be boat sink faster.
