Title: Surrounded by Water
Author: Stephanie Butland
Pages: 320
Publisher: Transworld Digital
Release date: 10th April 2014
Blurb:
How typical of her kind, generous husband - a respected police officer - to sacrifice his own life saving a complete stranger's.
Or so she thinks.
What exactly was her husband doing at the lake that night? And what if his death isn't the most difficult thing she will have to deal with?
Elizabeth must face the consequences of her husband's actions. As she does so, it seems that the end of Mike's life is only the beginning of his wife truly getting to know him.
My Review:

3/5 stars
When
Elizabeth's husband, Michael, who is a policeman, dies saving a girl from
drowning, her life is turned upside down.
Why was Mike at the lake?
Were there
things about him that Elizabeth didn't know?
Surrounded
by Water is told from the present and from the past which I liked as it showed
us how Elizabeth and Mike met and how their relationship developed. It is an
emotional read and I really felt for Elizabeth, Mike's friends and his mother
as they grieved. Mel, Elizabeth's sister, was my favourite character and she
was very supportive of Elizabeth.
I saw
the surprise coming and while the story was slow in some places I enjoyed it
overall.
