The Flood

Written by Rachel Bennett

Narrated by Catrin Walker-Booth

A gripping, atmospheric crime novel about a town on the edge of collapse, and a murder that shakes the community. Perfect for fans of The Dry.

When Daniela Cain returns to her small hometown after seven years’ absence, she finds that flooding has left the village all but deserted. She’s there to collect something she left in her childhood home, then she plans to leave. But upon entering the old house she discovers her younger sister’s body half-submerged in the water.

As Daniela tries to work out what happened to Auryn, she uncovers dark secrets from her childhood as one of four sisters in the household, when the Cain’s and another local family begin to turn on each other with devastating results.

Reviews for The Flood

[isabellapril · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Daniela McCain comes back to her hometown for her share of the selling of the family home. One of her sisters is the local sheriff and doesn't trust her motives. Daniela goes to the home to find her sister, Auryn dead. Daniela is soon accused of the murder. She tries to find out who killed Auryn while reflecting on her childhood. I liked the book. The story goes between the past and the present. It also explores the strained relationship between the sisters and the interaction of their father's former business partner and his family. The only critique I have is the book never explained what happened to the fourth sister. I recommend the book and hope the story continues
