A monster of a fantasy with a twist in the tale!
Joanne Ross saw the chance of a summer cruise on the Caledonian Canal in Scotland as a great 'get away from it all' after a demanding year on a teaching exchange in England, so why does she find herself inviting Loz Garet along with her? Has she learned nothing from sharing a house with him for the last year?
On Loch Ness, night falls and tension rises. Odd events seem to multiply around her, and Joanne finds herself with two more people on her boat: the obsessed Jim, searching for answers in the cold, dark water, and the teasing, buoyant young Cora, who has an answer for everything.
As she observes the complex web of shallow interactions between her guests with some distaste, Joanne finds herself ever more drawn to the deeply beautiful loch. It’s not long before she’s forced into contemplating who the real monster is here. Is it really in the water, or is it right there on the boat with her?
