Books like In dark waters by Mary Burton
In the tranquil town by a Virginia lake, an old body is discovered—Donna Warren’s remains, a woman no one has noticed. Kelsey Warren, a high‑flying journalist, has been haunted by her mother’s abandonment and no longer forgives the past. When the body is found, Kelsey is convinced that more sinister forces are at play than her mother’s reckless life. Despite Sheriff Mitch Garret’s pleas to leave the case alone, Kelsey insists on uncovering the truth. As she and the sheriff dig deeper into the town’s quiet façade, they find that someone—alive and determined—is willing to go to any length to keep the past concealed and to silence Kelsey for good.
