"Fun and funny . . . a page turner"Paige Lovitt
"In this tale, once again, Abigail Keam does an excellent job of creating a middle-aged heroine, whom I can totally relate to, an eccentric cast of characters, beautifully descriptive settings, and she also incorporates interesting tidbits of history that took place around where she lives. Her mysterious daughter also adds to the suspense. "Death by Drowning" is a must read. Fans of mystery will absolutely love it. Even though it is second in a series, it stands alone just fine.Susan Smith-Durisek

Death by Drowning by Abigail Keam is the second book of Ms. Keam's murder mystery series.This book was a fun and exciting read. Humor is parceled out in just the right amount, as is friendship and loyalty. The characters are very well developed, each rich in his or her own idiosyncrasies. Ms. Keam writes such that readers want to know more of Josiah's life and the ending will not disappoint their need to know.
