secrets in the Water

A Meredith Island Mystery

Learning her grandmother died believing she was responsible for her daughter’s suicide, Kate Galway sets out to learn the truth, confronting secrets of her family’s past and her fellow Welsh islanders, to bring to justice a killer who has eluded detection for fifty years.

“Troubled currents beneath the waves off this quiet Welsh island dredge up family secrets that challenge even the keenly intelligent Kate Galway. The graceful prose and clever plotting gift readers with an evocative and deeply satisfying story.”  — BARBARA KYLE, author of The Deadly Trade

“This debut mystery serves up memorable characters, a captivating setting and a story that the reader can care about. I can’t wait to revisit Meredith Island on the next outing for this excellent new series.” — MARY JANE MAFFINI, author of the Camilla MacPhee and the Charlotte Adams Mysteries 

“Alice Fitzpatrick paints a vivid picture of a small island community of farmers, fishers, and cooks who take pride in their self-sufficiency. A place of trust where people have known each other all their lives, where no one ever locks their doors. Where privacy is always respected and secrets are kept for years.” — MERRILEE ROBSON, short mystery author
