Vanessa has always felt she’s living in the shadow of her sister, Justine. Justine is fearless, strong and always willing to push herself. Vanessa is too scared to even swim in the Harbour of their summer home residence after an accident a few years earlier.
Then, one day, the unthinkable happens. Justine is killed after jumping from local cliffs. Nobody is quite sure how to cope.
Vanessa finds herself heading back to their lakeside home alone. She is scared, but still thinks she hears her sister’s voice. She also has Simon Carmichael, her childhood friend, to spend time with. But as they spend time together they realise the rising number of deaths in the area cannot be a coincidence.
Vanessa and Simon have to confront parts of their past in order to work out exactly what’s causing these deaths…and how to stop them. We can see what’s going on well before Vanessa admits it to herself…and the little detail slipped in about Vanessa doesn’t exactly come as a surprise.
