When divers discover remains in a house that has long been submerged by a reservoir, the retired detective who first investigated the victim's disappearance has his worst suspicions confirmed: Helena Warner, an undergraduate at Somerville College, Oxford was murdered, and three of her closest friends colluded to protect the identity of the killer.
With Bill Driver back on his trail, the killer strikes again, and Driver must try to understand the strange, dark ties that bind Helena's three friends together in silence if he is to prevent further deaths. And he has every intention of making good his promise of twenty years ago: 'I'll break you. Maybe not today, and maybe not for many years to come, but one day I'll break you...'

Well plotted, atmospheric and chilling with a good ending though I did have my doubts about one character's reactions to the unveiling. Hence I've given a 9 rating rather than a 10.

I thought this was excellent. I read it in one day as I am suffering with a cold at the moment and needed something compelling but not too thought-provoking; this fit the bill perfectly. I thought the plot was interesting and fast-paced and the characters well-rounded with enough flaws to make them seem real, but still sympathetic. This is the first book I've read by this author and I will certainly look out for more books by her.

Not sure what the fate of this book will be next. I might try it again in the Mystery/Thriller VBB first.
