520 "When social worker Jax receives nine missed calls from
her older sister, Lexie, she assumes that it's just
another one of her sister's episodes. Manic and
increasingly out of touch with reality, Lexie has pushed
Jax away for over a year. But the next day, Lexie is dead:
drowned in the pool at their grandmother's estate. When
Jax arrives at the house to go through her sister's things,
she learns that Lexie was researching the history of their
family and the property. And as she dives deeper into the
research herself, she discovers that the land holds a far
darker past than she could have ever imagined. In 1929,
thirty-seven-year-old newlywed Ethel Monroe hopes
desperately for a baby. In an effort to distract her, her
husband whisks her away on a trip to Vermont, where a
natural spring is showcased by the newest and most modern
hotel in the Northeast. Once there, Ethel learns that the
water is rumored to grant wishes, never suspecting that
the spring takes in equal measure to what it gives. A
haunting, twisty, and compulsively readable thrill ride
from the author who Chris Bohjalian has dubbed the
"literary descendant of Shirley Jackson," The Drowning
Kind is a modern-day ghost story that illuminates how the
past, though sometimes forgotten, is never really far
behind us."--|cProvided by publisher.
