In the dead of winter in a small Minnesota town, two young women and a car are recovered from the icy Black Root River. Miraculously, Audrey Sutter, daughter of the former local sheriff, survives. And she suspects the tragedy that claimed the life of her friend was no accident. Suspicious of the new sheriff, Audrey begins her own investigation… and all roads lead back to a decade-old unsolved case of another teenage girl who drowned in the same river. As Audrey begins to uncover long-buried secrets and edges closer to a dangerous truth, she finds aid and comfort from the most unlikely sources. A truly absorbing literary thriller, The Current not only kept me up late at night, it had me waking up early to rush to the final page!
