The Drowning Kind is a twisted, creepy book—and I mean that in the best possible way.
The story evolves over two timelines—1929 and contemporary—and involves the Brandenburg Springs. Four underground springs carry healing minerals into a pool. In 1929, Dr. and Mrs. Montrose visit the pool. Mrs. Montrose is desperate to have a baby and the pool may offer the remedy she needs to make that dream a reality. But the springs give as much as they take.
In 2019 Jax misses nine calls from her estranged sister. Lexie, a skilled swimmer, has drowned in the same pool on the family estate that’s claimed other people and has earned a nefarious reputation.
But has the spring-fed pool earned its reputation or is it contrived?
The Drowning Kind is a richly detailed, eerie story. Jennifer McMahon will draw you in and keep you tantalized to the very end.
The Drowning Kind is available now.
