My review for this well written, atmospheric book is short but sweet. The Andersen's marriage already has some serious cracks when they move to the island with their two daughters. Will events on the island split it apart with explosive results or will they pull together as a family to overcome the dark forces at work? Are the stories about the swamp behind their house true or fanciful imaginations to distract from their very real problems and an excuse for their infidelity. You'll have to read the book to find out.Watkins proves to be the mistress of suspense. My dog missed his evening walk as I had to find out!Characterisation and imagery were excellent. If you enjoy suspense, this won't disappoint.
