'Tightly plotted with great characters and pacing' - Prima 'A compelling psychological thriller' - Crime Monthly For fans of Gillian McAllister and Lisa Jewell comes a powerful and haunting novel about family, secrets and murder. Is blood thicker than water? At five a.m. one summer's morning, police diver Jen Harper wakes to find herself submerged in the silt of a river with no memory of how she got there. Forty-eight hours later, she's called to dive in the same river in search of a missing woman, Claudia Franklin. But for Jen, this is no ordinary job. Her and Claudia's families were entangled for decades - there is unresolved resentment between them, unspoken secrets. Jen hasn't seen Claudia for twelve years now. Or has she? ___________ PRAISE FOR SILENT WATERS: 'Brilliantly plotted, utterly compelling and where nothing is as it seems. Add to that some whip-smart dialogue and you have everything you could possibly want in a thriller.' - John Marrs 'Silent Waters is a highly addictive, ever-engrossing, one-sit-read thriller - once you dive in, you won't want to come up for air.' - Jack Jordan 'You'll be spellbound from the first SENTENCE ... Simply wonderful.' - Jonathan Whitelaw 'An utterly engrossing novel that will leave you as breathless as its characters!' - Sarah Lawton 'A fascinating, constantly surprising mystery novel that pulls you in like a hidden riptide and builds to a heart-pounding and hugely satisfying finale. A wonderful read!' - C.M. Ewan 'Propulsive and intricately plotted, Silent Waters is the thriller to watch for in 2023.' - Ella King 'A tightly plotted and skilfully rendered story with strong characters that jumped off the page. Beautifully claustrophobic.' - Imran Mahmood 'A compelling and atmospheric story of toxic friendships, secrets and divided loyalties all set around the competitive world of diving - loved it.' - Catherine Cooper 'Fiendishly clever, fascinating and with a host of fully realised characters, Silent Waters is one of the most original and atmospheric thrillers I've ever read. I absolutely love L.V. Matthews' writing - it always takes you by surprise.' - Charlotte Duckworth 'A police diver, a thwarted Olympic dream, a missing woman, and a body in a watery grave. [...] A thrillingly murky tale of tainted love and betrayal, an edge-of-the-jetty read. I dare you to jump in!' - Janice Hallett 'Silent Waters is a brilliant, beautifully written thriller with an unusual premise and shocking twists. I loved it! Her best yet
