THE DEEPEST LAKE

The narration of this mystery begins with Susan Bennett's introduction of Rose, who enrolls in the memoir-writing camp at which her daughter, Jules, drowned. How could Jules have drowned when she was afraid of the water? Bennett performs from Rose's perspective, projecting her discomfort with writing, her need to hide her name and agenda, and her growing suspicion about what happened and why. In other chapters, Rebecca Quinn Robertson expresses Jules's point of view, as well as that of the charismatic workshop instructor, Eva Marshall. Gradually, Robertson reveals Jules's wariness of Eva's wishes and requests. Together, the two narrators build the tension in this gripping mystery as they depict its themes of maternal loss and the power of a magnetic literary figure.
