If someone you knew had drowned would you find comfort in swimming? I liked the overall story in this book but found the imagery more beautiful than the later murder. I think it is a book that have even stood to lose the murder, spend more time on the people.

Good but slow, certainly readable.

First, as always, I thank Netgalley and Joffe Books for this ARC!

This was my first book by Bella Ellwood-Clayton, as far as I can recall. The blurb and the cover did draw my attention in, and, what can I say - the book itself did also not disappoint.

I think it is brave to still go swimming in the ocean when your sister drowned on a family trip. And a Tragic Wife's Swimming group is also surely a unique way to deal with grief. It would for sure be nice if this is the whole story - that everyone in the group could heal this way. But then we would not have the twisty story I have just been reading, and that would really have been a shame! So, all I have left to say is, buckle up for this rollercoaster, and get your copy of the book as soon as you can!

A storyline full of twists and turns.
I am afraid i just struggled with some of it and picked it up several times.
Sadly just not one i went mad for.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

Can cold water heal broken hearts? 11 months. 113 cold water swims. 1 missing woman. We call ourselves the Tragic Wives’ Swimming Group, well, because . . . we’ve all had something bad happen to us! Great read! Fantastic chilling thriller! This book had great suspense, murder, mystery, gaslighting, dark secrets, and some wild twists! The story was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and Joffe books (my favorite!) for sharing this book with me!
