They Drown Our Daughters

By Katrina Monroe

Book Overview

For fans of Jennifer McMahon and Silvia Moreno-Garcia comes a haunting and atmospheric new novel from debut author Katrina Monroe.

They say Cape Disappointment is haunted.
That if you can hear the call of the water
It's already too late...

Tourists used to flock to Cape Disappointment in droves to visit the rocky shoreline and the creaky old lighthouse. But the tourists are gone now, and when Meredith Strand returns to her childhood home on the eve of her divorce, young daughter in tow, the Cape seems more haunted by regret than any malevolent force.

But her mother, suffering from Alzheimer's, is convinced the stories are real. Not only is there something in the water, but it's watching them. Waiting for them. Reaching out to Meredith's daughter the way it has to every woman in their line for generations--ready to reclaim what once was stolen.

Customer Reviews

A DNF for me.

“To many hens in the hen house” is one way that I would describe this book. This was a “Did Not Finish”  though this was even close to a “Skip ahead”. I was excited this book started out pretty good, but then it began to drag and drag heavily. The characters in the book were very unlikeable as well. Meredith, Alice her daughter and her mother Judith were the modern day POVs. I do not mind the multiple POVs but it could have been in a little less with the person jumping from teen, adult, and vice versa. Meredith is very unlikeable and pushing her fears onto her daughter. Alice doesn’t really have a POV since she is young, and Judith is losing her marbles due to Alzheimer’s but is one of the more likeable characters. I will try and finish it, but as of right now its on my “try again later” shelf.
