Dreaming of Water by A. J. Banner

What had her aunt found, and why didn't she tell Astrid what it was when they talked on the phone?

If Aunt Maude had told Astrid, maybe Astrid wouldn't have found her unconscious on the floor of the library without a clue what she meant about a letter and a typewriter.

Astrid took a few days off hoping to have some time with Aunt Maude and find out what was going on, but that's not how it turned out.

We follow Astrid as the chapters go back and forth from when she was ten and her sister drowned to present day when she had just divorced her husband, her father had remarried, and her mother was somewhere in Europe with her newest boyfriend.

Seventeen years ago Astrid found her four-year-old sister floating in a shallow pond. 

It was ruled an accident, but after all these years did Aunt Maude find something to the contrary?  Was Aunt Maude in danger and now Astrid?

Hopefully Aunt Maude wakes up and things will be revealed.

DREAMING OF WATER kept me turning the pages.  The writing and the story line are so good.

The twist at the end, and when all the secrets are revealed is great!!  5/5

This is my first book by this author, and I definitely enjoyed DREAMING OF WATER.

Thank you to the publisher for the advanced reader copy.  All opinions are my own.
