HOW DO YOU FIND THE TRUTH IN A TOWN FULL OF SECRETS?
Clare has to find them.
Sally Proulx and her young boy have mysteriously disappeared in the stormy town of High River. Clare is hired to track them down, hoping against all odds to find them alive. But High River isn’t your typical town. It’s a place where women run to—women who want to escape their past. They run to Helen Haines, a matriarch who offers them safe haven and anonymity. Pretending to be Sally’s long-lost friend, Clare turns up and starts asking questions, but nothing prepares her for the swirl of deception and the depth of the lies.
Did Sally drown? Did her son? Was it an accident, or is their disappearance part of something bigger?
In a town where secrets are crucial to survival, everyone is hiding something. Detectives Somers and Rourke clearly have an ulterior motive beyond solving the case. Malcolm Boon, who hired Clare, knows more about her than he reveals. And Helen is concealing a tragic family history of her own. As the truth surges through High River, Clare must face the very thing she has so desperately been running from, even if it comes at a devastating cost. Compulsively gripping and twisty, Still Water is a deep dive of a thriller that will leave you breathless.

Review
"An intricately woven thriller.... You'll want desperately to solve the mystery not only of the missing Shayna, but of Clare O'Dey, Amy Stuart's heartbreaking heroine, on the run from the darkest forces both within and without--and you'll have a hard time forgetting the everytown of Blackstone and its scheming, desperate inhabitants.... A vivid and haunting debut."--Holly LeCraw, author of The Swimming Pool
"A haunting treasure of a book that burrowed its way into my psyche as I read it.... Not since The Silent Wife have I been rendered so powerlessly riveted by a psychological thriller. I can't wait to read what Stuart writes next."--Marissa Stapley, author of Mating for Life
"From its evocative opening to its heart-pounding conclusion, Still Mine is a gripping mystery that I felt desperate to solve. Amy Stuart paints a vivid picture of the stark mountain town, Blackmore, and the cast of shadowy characters who inhabit it. A tense and absorbing read."--Lucy Clarke, author of The Blue
"Still Mine delivers all the nail-biting moments of a fast-paced thriller and filters them through the eyes of girl-with-a-past Clare O'Dey: deeply flawed yet instantly recognizable, O'Dey is a noir detective hero for a postmodern age. Author Amy Stuart sends one missing woman out to look for another one, and the result is chilling. You'll find yourself turning the pages faster and faster."--Elisabeth de Mariaffi, author of The Devil You Know
"Utterly compelling and intriguing, Still Water is a very clever whodunit with a most appealingly vulnerable protagonist. My husband thought I was ignoring him while I was reading this book. I wasn't. I just forgot he existed because I was so engrossed. Warn your families before you pick up this book."--Liz Nugent, bestselling author of Unraveling Oliver
"As swift, intense and vengeful as the river it describes, this book is a must-read. Secrets swirl in the deep of Still Water, Stuart's gripping new thriller of loss and refuge. With a gallery of characters on the run, the pages beat and churn like an aching heart."--Roz Nay, bestselling author of Our Little Secret
Praise for STILL WATER "Her prose is rich and descriptive, building suspense and creating a moody atmosphere."--Quill and Quire
"Torontonian Amy Stuart's debut novel, Still Mine, was highly promising. Still Water brings back the same characters in a new setting and proves that Stuart is no one-book author. Still Water is even better than her debut."--The Globe and Mail
"Riveting, twisty and full of tangled secrets.... A stay-up-all-night read. Impossible to put down!"--Karma Brown, bestselling author of In This Moment
