Her son called them panicked from the woods asking for help. Sarah and Martin went there and found Finn's dead girlfriend and a few meters away he was passed out. Sarah wanted to call the police but Martin, forbid it. His demeanor and everything that followed that night rattled her and made her think of the past. Some flashbacks from her college years had created doubts about her life choices. Sarah wanted to find out what had happened to the girl and if her son was innocent. The more she searched the more lies she discovered, so dark that caused her perfect life to crumble down. In the end, she had to decide if she was storing enough to go against those monsters and bring justice
to the lost innocent souls.

It's a wonderful story filled with mystery and suspense. It's well written, alternates between present and past, and it's told from the
heroine's point of view. The plot is easy to follow, it has many twists that makes it intriguing. For me, this book is a page-turner because you keep finding secrets and you want to see what happens next. The characters are realistic but not very relatable. Some of
them are nice but most of them not so much. For the most part, I liked Sarah as a character but there were moments that she pissed me
off. The ending was spectacular.

In general, Sweet Water is a very good book for those who like mysteries. I enjoyed it a lot and I will rate it with 4.5 stars.
