The Drowning Kind

 Fiction by Jennifer McMahon


Lexie and Jackie are sisters who spend every childhood summer at their grandmother's house in small-town New Hampshire. Gram has a beautiful historic home with a natural pool fed by and underground spring, and she's lived there all her life. In fact, Gram never leaves her home; she's an agoraphobic. Then after the girls grow up, Gram decides to leave her house to Lexie alone, creating a jealous estrangement between the girls. 

But the house may be a burden as well as a gift; the natural springs on the property is said to be haunted and has a spooky history. The story unfolds with Jackie and Lexie in the present day and a woman called Ethel in 1929. Is there something supernatural about the springs?

I liked the characters in this book, but it was awfully creepy. I didn't like the ending.

I also read by this author: The Winter People
