Mersea Island. Over 2,500 acres of farmland, marshland, and several caravan parks. Usually, it is home to 7,000 people. But for the August Bank Holiday weekend, it is home to two more residents: DS Tomek Bowen and his daughter, Kasia, looking to make the most of the end of the school holidays, the end of summer, and the end of Tomek’s extended time away from work.
But when a body is discovered tethered to a buoy one morning, Tomek is pulled into the murky world of murder and death sooner than anticipated. Cut off from his team and the rest of the police force, Tomek is forced to put his years of experience into practice. But as the tide comes closer, severing connection with the outside world, can he catch the killer before they strike again?

In the chilling conclusion of the trilogy, Kat is left to pick up the pieces after Adam’s untimely death, but her own secrets threaten to unravel her.
As Tom, her young son, starts acting strangely—seeing and hearing things that aren’t supposed to be there—Kat’s sense of reality begins to warp. Luke, now free from Sandra, urges her to move on, but doubts linger, especially after their former boss’s house is mysteriously sold on the day of Adam’s funeral. And when a woman, eerily reminiscent of Imogen moves in, Kat is drawn to her—but something feels off. The more she learns, the more she suspects their meeting was more than coincidence.
People connected to Adam’s dark past begin to meet grim fates, and Kat is left wondering how much of it is out of her control—or if she’s part of a bigger, more sinister plan. Is she being followed, or is her paranoia a sign that something far more menacing is at play?
As the walls close in, trust becomes a dangerous luxury, and Kat must navigate a web of lies, deceit and fear to uncover the truth. But with the past refusing to stay buried, the real question is: will she survive long enough to see it?

I get the impression that this could be a nice story but I've had to give up after forcing myself to go as far as 15% of the way through. If this novel has ever been near a remotely professional editor then the author was conned.
