A review by kimbofo
Sheerwater by Leah Swann
5.0
Sheerwater by Leah Swann is one of those rare treats of a novel that marries beautiful prose with wonderfully realised characters and then combines this with a compelling, fast-paced plot and lots of thought-provoking current issues to lend it relevance.
It’s probably best described as a literary crime novel, though it also ticks boxes for suspense and psychological thriller, too.
The third-person narrative spans three tense days and culminates in a shocking, yet totally credible ending, the sort that could have been lifted from today’s news. I came away from it reeling and I have been thinking about it ever since.
