The Shallows

De: Holly Craig

Narrado por: Tamala Shelton

Her best friend is dead.

Emma and Ariella, neighbours in one of Sydney’s most exclusive suburbs, appear to have it all—perfect homes, perfect husbands, perfect lives. But they both know dark secrets lurk beneath the surface and shallow waters can’t hide Ariella’s. Now she has been found murdered.

Her daughter filmed the killing.

Not knowing what she’s filmed, Emma’s daughter Kiki innocently uploads footage of Ariella’s brutal death. Emma fears the worst—the killer will know what she and Kiki have seen. Their safe suburban lives no longer exist.

Her husband knows more than he’s revealing.

Emma’s husband Charles forces the family to leave their perfect life and escape on their yacht. His dangerous plan to flee means Emma is trapped and desperately seeking answers. What are they hiding from? What did Ariella have to confess? And who else knows Emma’s own secret?

Her secret isn’t safe and neither is she.

Surprising and refreshing

A completely different storyline than most out there. Not too heavy but I found myself seeking time to listen.

Beautiful insight into our relational humanity

It took me a few chapters but then I was hooked. Eloquent yet real and deep insights into husband/ wife/ married life. When is the sequel?

Great Story Idea but fell flat

This was a great story idea! It started off great but got bogged down in the middle. I hung on hoping for a great ending but it just sort of fizzled.

Needed more twists

The first part of the book was interesting. But the end…I won’t spoil it but will say it needed more twists and turns.

Story line

Pretty good story. Back and forth chapters were okay and stretched out suspense. Narrator a little hard to understand at first.
