This is only the second mystery author I've read who uses Christchurch as a setting (the first, Paul Cleve). FOUND, NEAR WATER was engrossing, but some threads (Christine's marriage, the losses suffered by her support group) were depressing, or sad. Certainly the revelations to come later in the story are gritty and horrifying. Yet Ms. Hayton weaves them generously into a tale I could not set aside. I would like to see this extend into a series.
