Two women. A tragedy on the lake. And secrets beneath the surface ... The lyrical, haunting new novel from the author of The Beautiful Words For fans of The Lovely Bones, Before You Knew My Name and Everything I Never Told YouPaige White kayaked across the lake each morning at dawn. Someone was watching her. Many someones watched her online. But was anyone with her the day she was found?Paige White's beautiful life is documented closely for her thousands of followers: lakeside picnics breakfasts with her daughter, sunny afternoons in the family van, and romantic dinners picnics with her husband. So when she posts an ominous, brooding image, and her body is shortly after discovered in the lake is shortly after discovered drowned, everyone immediately wonders - suicide or foul play? Paige finds herself suspended in a strange, idyllic place that resembles her most 'liked' Instagram post, forced to watch as life continues without her. When Paige's death makes national news, Jane Masters, a journalist who was close to Paige in childhood, reluctantly travels home. Struggling with the morality of covering her friend's death, Jane will confront the town she left behind and the dark undercurrents that she's always known run underneath. 'An addictive read which nimbly combines a twisty small-town mystery with a thoughtful critique of influencer culture, all set against the wild, irresistible beauty of the Australian coastal landscape.' Mikki Brammer, author of The Collected Regrets of Clover
