Book Review: "Drowning With Others" By Linda Keir

“Would you rather be drowning with others, or swimming alone?”
― Linda Keir, Drowning With Others


When love and marriage collide head on something is about to go down!


Unfortunately, for at least one individual the downward spiral in a swimming hole frequented by the once high school seniors Ian and Andi involves more than just raw emotions as the twisting action soon follows.


“He'd never known her secret, and he couldn't know. Even the strongest marriages hid tiny cracks that, if widened, could cause the whole foundation to crumble.”


Well let's not get alarmed as I'm sure the connections are simply pure innocence as they couldn't have been involved, RIGHT?


Well, not so fast as the investigation turns up the heat and the spotlight upon their past actions and there's quite a bit of shifting around that needs to be re-organized.
It seems not everyone is being honest or truthful and this leads to more questions than answers.


Could this person have been targeted?
If so, why?


It seems when the cats away the mice will play and so as seniors it was this playful time that clearly went in the wrong direction for all.


Told in the present tense with three shifting characters including Ian, Andi, and their daughter Cassidy it becomes apparent that something is off.


Without going into too much detail it does appear the two main characters had motive but that doesn't mean either is a killer.


You know what's not funny is the fact that people who feel stuck often turn elsewhere in relationships and marriages so perhaps the 'killer' was more known than unknown with a motive that may have been more than anyone could've expected.


Silence is deafening in domestic violence situations and perhaps silencing the victim permanently was the only option left after of course the intimidation subsided.
That's all for now, hope to see you on the reading trail!!


Thanks again to Linda, the publisher, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for always keeping me entertained with such amazing authors and publishers.
