Additional Notes

From The Publisher*How do you find the truth in a town full of secrets?
Clare has to find them.

Sally Proulx and her young boy have mysteriously disappeared in the stormy town of High River. Clare is hired to track them down, hoping against all odds to find them alive. But High River isn't your typical town. It's a place where women run to-women who want to escape their past. They run to Helen Haines, a matriarch who offers them safe haven and anonymity. Pretending to be Sally's long-lost friend, Clare turns up and starts asking questions, but nothing prepares her for the swirl of deception and the depth of the lies.

Did Sally drown? Did her son? Was it an accident, or is their disappearance part of something bigger?

In a town where secrets are crucial to survival, everyone is hiding something. Detectives Somers and Rourke clearly have an ulterior motive beyond solving the case. Malcolm Boon, who hired Clare, knows more about her than he reveals. And Helen is concealing a tragic family history of her own. As the truth surges through High River, Clare must face the very thing she has so desperately been running from, even if it comes at a devastating cost. Compulsively gripping and twisty, Still Water is a deep dive of a thriller that will leave you breathless.
Review Quote*Praise for STILL WATER

"Torontonian Amy Stuart's debut novel, Still Mine, was highly promising. Still Water brings back the same characters in a new setting and proves that Stuart is no one-book author. Still Water is even better than her debut."
- The Globe and Mail
Review Quote*"Complex characters with gut-wrenching backstories propel this twisty mystery toward its shocking conclusion. I was engrossed!"
- ROBYN HARDING, #1 bestselling author of The Swap
Review Quote*"Riveting, twisty, and full of tangled secrets. . . . A stay-up-all-night read. Impossible to put down!"
- KARMA BROWN, bestselling author of In This Moment
Review Quote*"Utterly compelling and intriguing, Still Water is a very clever whodunit with a most appealingly vulnerable protagonist. My husband thought I was ignoring him while I was reading this book. I wasn't. I just forgot he existed because I was so engrossed. Warn your families before you pick up this book."
- LIZ NUGENT, bestselling author of Lying in Wait
Review Quote*"As swift, intense, and vengeful as the river it describes, this book is a must-read. Secrets swirl in the deep of Still Water, Stuart's gripping new thriller of loss and refuge. With a gallery of characters on the run, the pages beat and churn like an aching heart."
- ROZ NAY, bestselling author of Hurry Home
Review Quote*"Her prose is rich and descriptive, building suspense and creating a moody atmosphere."
- Quill & Quire
Review Quote* "Instantly captivating, mysterious, and relevant-Amy Stuart has done it again!"
- MARISSA STAPLEY, author of The Last Resort
Review Quote*"The tension in this book is sharp enough to cut. A pervasive sense of dread and danger flows through Still Water as Clare struggles to unravel both the secrets in front of her and the ones she thought she left behind. If you liked Still Mine, you'll love Still Water."
- TYRELL JOHNSON, bestselling author of The Wolves of Winter
