The Drowning Kind by Jennifer McMahon
When social worker Jax receives nine missed calls from her manic and increasingly out-of-touch older sister, Lexie, she assumes it's just another one of her episodes. But the next day, Lexie is dead, drowned in the pool at their grandmother's estate. Going through her sister's things, Jax learns that Lexie was researching the history of their family and the property. She dives deeper into the research herself and discovers that the land holds a far darker past than she ever could have imagined.
In 1929, thirty-seven-year-old newlywed Ethel Monroe hopes desperately for a baby. In an effort to distract her, Ethel's husband whisks her away on a trip to Vermont, where she learns that a natural spring showcased by the newest hotel in the Northeast is rumored to grant wishes. But she never suspects that the spring takes in equal measure to what it gives.
A haunting, twisty, and compulsively readable thrill ride, The Drowning Kind is a modern-day ghost story that illuminates how the past, though sometimes forgotten, is never really far behind us.
