"In this tale, once again, Abigail Keam does an excellent job of creating a middle-aged heroine, whom I can totally relate to, an eccentric cast of characters, beautifully descriptive settings, and she also incorporates interesting tidbits of history that took place around where she lives. Her mysterious daughter also adds to the suspense. "Death by Drowning" is a must read. Fans of mystery will absolutely love it. Even though it is second in a series, it stands alone just fine, however, to extend the fun; you will want to read both!"
