Publisher's Summary

The unstoppable psychological thriller from S. K. Tremayne, the number one Sunday Times best-selling author of The Ice Twins.

A hotel brimming with wealthy guests.

Surrounded by the Blackwater estuary, The Stanhope hotel sits on a beautiful remote island. Tonight is the grand reopening, and organiser Hannah watches the guests with pride.

Celebration leads to tragedy.

But as drinking descends into debauchery, drunken revellers wade into the water, unaware of the treacherous tide at The Drowning Hour.

They are never seen again.

Fear becomes phobia.

Tormented by a terror of water, Hannah is stuck on the island over winter. Whispers about 'That Night' begin to circle. Someone knows what really happened in The Drowning Hour—and Hannah isn’t safe....

Gripping, atmospheric and twisty, The Drowning Hour is perfect for fans of C.J. Tudor and Ruth Ware.
