Summary

To find two missing women, a detective must dive into the secrets of her past in a blood-freezing novel of suspense by USA Today bestselling author Debra Webb.

Detective Adeline Cooper swore she’d never return to Mississippi, where her corrupt family rules through fear and her career was upended by betrayal. But then she receives a photograph of a local woman who has gone missing, along with a cryptic, chilling message: Pretty, pretty princess. See her smile…see her die.

Soon after Adeline arrives in her hometown, a second woman is kidnapped, and there are disturbing connections between the two victims and the detective. Both women bear an eerie resemblance to Adeline and share her fear of water. A new message makes the kidnapper’s game terrifyingly clear: You’re next.

When past and present collide at the river’s edge, Adeline will finally understand why she’s been dreaming of drowning her whole life.

Revised edition: Previously published as Anywhere She Runs, this edition of The Drowning Season includes editorial revisions.

..but when Adeline is forced back to her home town she realises the secrets and lies that have brought her back make the corruption and betrayal of nine years ago fade into the background. Some secrets are definitely better left buried, and this one should have been left alone, but even those who thought they knew the truth thirty years ago are surprised by the details that Adeline finally uncovers in this haunting case. Just hearing the word "Princess" said with such derision sends chills rippling down your back as Addie and Wyatt race against time and through the increasing number of bodies to find not only the perpetrator but also those who are aiding him....those who should know better....and those who have everything to lose.
Dark, dangerous and disturbing this book is like a train wreck that you can see happening, but cannot look away from. I listened to it on Audible with Kindle Unlimited and I couldn't switch it off, I could feel the frustration, the terror, the horror and the vile hatred that seeps from every word.

She thought she had escaped the corruption and betrayal...
