  If you put a toe in the water with THE DROWNING then Rachel Ward’s stunning
  sequel takes what happens next on to new depths of scary emotion! More
  intense, more about relationships and with an even more disturbing evil in the
  water, this is a thriller that will keep you on the beach and out of the pool
  all year long! But more importantly I love the way Rachel makes those voices
  in your head come alive – you know, the ones that we think are the ‘real us’,
  comforting, commenting and encouraging. But can you trust what they are
  saying?
