Drowned Sorrow starts off with Megan Blackwood in a meeting at work and her daughter constantly ringing but she tells her receptionist to tell her unless it is an emergency she cannot talk. When Megan gets home she finds her only son has died in a bid to get some attention from his mother who was married to her work.

Months later Megan decides to take a break with her Daughter Jenna to Moonlight Creek a small secluded village where the villagers only come out in the rain, walk like they have all the time in the world and look and act pretty strange. And a Lake!
I will not say anything more about the plot as I do not want to spoil the story for people that have not read it yet.

This book was pretty crazy, it had sadness and sorrow, action plus its was scary and creepy.
While reading it I kept telling Megan and Jenna in my head not to go near the Lake. I think if it were me that had visited Moonlight Creek I would have made a U-turn and drove away quickly instead of making do.

The story did jump from character to character a lot of the time and sometimes I got a bit lost with all the jumps but it did not spoil it.

Drowned Sorrow could have been a bit longer, it was well written and it kept me gripped, wanting to find out what happens at the end.

It has great potential for a movie.
