Críticas

Exquisitely written and addictively dark, The Swimming Pool is sheer perfection (Clare Mackintosh)

A compulsive psychological thriller that will give you the shivers (Sunday Mirror)

A clever, claustrophobic thriller (Fabulous Magazine)

Unapologetically dark, deliciously descriptive and heavy with that irresistible sense of foreboding, this is a novel that redefines the term 'unputdownable' (Heat)

Tautly plotted and claustrophobic - a psychological drama with edge (Good Housekeeping)

This story will keep you hooked with unexpected twists and turns until the end, when secrets and lies are exposed (Candis)

Clever, atmospheric and ridiculously addictive (Kate Riordan)

Gripping from start to finish, it wrapped itself around me and swept me along in its wake. I loved it and simply did not want it to end (Rosanna Ley)

As languidly seductive as summer itself, this is a tense, unsettling tale about the secrets and lies submerged beneath the smooth surface of a leafy London neighbourhood lido. Bravo, Louise Candlish! (Tammy Cohen)

The Swimming Pool is a slow-burning and thought-provoking read, and the last few gripping pages had me immediately reaching for the beginning (Love Reading)

Reseña del editor

Gripping, twisty psychological suspense from the author of Our House, the Sunday Times bestseller & winner of a British Book Award

'A novel that redefines the term "unputdownable"' Heat

One summer can change everything . . .

In the heady swelter of a suburban summer, the Elm Hill lido opens.

For teacher Natalie Steele, the school holidays are always spent with her husband Ed and daughter Molly. But not this year.

Despite Molly's extreme phobia of water, Natalie is drawn to the lido and its dazzling social scene, led by glamorous Lara Channing. Soon she's spending long days with Lara at the pool and intimate evenings at her home.

Real life, and the person she used to be, begins to feel very far away.

But is the new friendship everything it seems?

Or has Natalie been swept dangerously out of her depth?
