About this listen

PLACING THAT KEY IN THE LOCK WAS THE LAST ORDINARY MOMENT OF HER LIFE.

'Magnificent' Russell T Davies
'An unpredictable twist' Erin Kelly
'Exceptional' Suzy Aspley
'Unlike any other thriller you've read' Michelle McDonagh

Iona Griffri returns home one evening to find her family murdered and her father, Eurov, missing. Her family home is entirely submerged in water, and a strange, unnamed girl lies dead in her bed.

As the police declare her father the main suspect, Iona is forced to confront how much she really knew about the man who raised her. Could he have been capable of such a crime? And who is the mysterious girl left behind?

With the help of the morgue attendant looking after her family's bodies, Iona goes on a journey to uncover the truth behind those final weeks of her family's life. Hidden in the fragments of her father's final manuscript, recovered from the flood, an unimaginable secret slowly rises to the surface. A terrible sin finally revealed...

A haunting, boundary-pushing thriller told through the lens of a lyrical family drama, from a captivating literary talent. The House of Water will rush over you like a torrent.

I loved this story that weaves a thriller into the precious history of Cymru, using true events to frame a fictional world.

It made me emotional, it had me gasping in shock and hooked to keep listening to find out what was happening in these families lives.

Such tender and wonderfully interesting characters, who above all else are trying to do the best they can in his life for those they love.

An emotional thriller
