Giveaway: Swimming at Night by Lucy Clarke
Book Description:
A starred LIBRARY JOURNAL review: “In the same vein as Rosamund Lupton’s Sister, Clarke takes the reader on an exciting and mysterious trail. . . . [She] does a nice job of creating characters who make us care about them and situations that are exciting and believable. A great read for fans of smart contemporary women’s fiction as well as thriller and mystery readers.”
Katie Greene’s world is shattered by a late-night visit from police officers bearing the news that her headstrong younger sister, Mia, has been found dead at the bottom of a cliff in Bali. The authorities say that Mia’s death was a suicide.
Although their relationship had been strained since Mia and her best friend, Finn, abruptly left on an around-the-world trip six months earlier, Katie is unable to accept that her sister would have taken her own life—and desperate to believe that their final words, spoken in anger, were not what drove Mia to the edge of that cliff.
Set on discovering the truth, Katie leaves behind her orderly life in London and, with only the entries in Mia’s recovered travel journal to guide her, faithfully retraces the last few months of her sister’s life in the hopes that following Mia’s steps and words will help unravel the mystery of her death.
About Lucy Clarke:
This is an accomplished debut novel and the sisters’ journeys are rendered all the more realistic because Lucy and her husband, a professional windsurfer, spend their winters traveling the coastlines of the world and their summers at their home on the south coast of England. Lucy has traveled to all of the locales in the book (including California, Hawaii, Australia, and Indonesia) and always keeps a travel journal. http://www.lucy-clarke.com/
