This is a novel about a woman. About a mother. About a marriage. About a murder. In the brightly lit public pool the killer swims and watches. Amongst the mothers cheering on their swim team daughters is Annie. Watching her two girls race, she's thinking of other things. Her husband's emotional distance. Her lost brother. The man she's drawn to. Then she learns a terrible secret. Now her everyday cares and concerns seem meaningless. Annie knows she has to act. Above all, she must protect her children. Compulsively readable, it takes readers on a journey where none could guess the final outcome.

Reviews for This Is The Water

Yannick Murphy, while being one of our most daring and original writers, is first and foremost an exquisitely attuned observer of human behaviour Dave Eggers Magical and harrowing Publishers Weekly (on HERE THEY COME) A wonderful novel. Original, suspenseful, funny and profoundly moving... I plan to recommend it to everyone I know Geraldine Brooks (on THE CALL) A hell of a book... It will haunt you Frank McCourt
