Review Quotes

"Alex Mason has it all: a lavish lifestyle, a beautiful family, a thriving career. He's built his life around the certainty that no one would discover what really happened twenty years ago at an idyllic summer camp. He's wrong. The Drowning is an edge-of-your-seat read." -- Kaira Rouda, bestselling author of Best Day Ever and What Comes Around

"An overbearing alpha male gets his comeuppance in this smart, creepy thriller." -- Publishers Weekly

"Smith has hit this one out of the park. Great characters, a plot that will draw you from the first to the last page and destined to be a must read book of 2019." -- The Strand Magazine
