With a darkly funny heroine, Every Lake is a gripping thriller about small town lies - where everyone is a suspect, right until the end...

Scary stories are fun... until your life becomes one.

When Alice was fifteen, her father killed Mia Heywood in their lakefront cottage before vanishing into the trees.
At least that's what the locals think happened.

Over a decade later, Alice has lost her job as a journalist, she's going through an expensive divorce and she desperately needs to sell the boarded-up 'murder house.'

But before she can do that, she has to find out what really happened.

However Tall Pines still has its secrets - the postcard-perfect Otago landscape hides a deep divide between the residents and the rich holiday homeowners. She learns that more than one crime is being covered up and alibis are veil thin.

One dead girl is a tragedy, a second cannot be a coincidence.

There are rumours her father still lives hidden in the trees that surround the lake, and the closer she gets to the truth the more deadly the situation becomes.
