Waiting on Wednesday Dead in the Water

At first glance, this seems to be an interesting mystery, but then the last line sort of flips everything and makes it into something else altogether.

Blurb: When Brigitte and her family moved from the city, they were supposed to be happier. And safer. But soon her crime-writer ex-boyfriend turns up in town to promote his new novel, in which a woman is found dead — murdered — in a country lake. Hours later, Brigitte watches the police pull a body from the water near her Gippsland home.

Her husband, a country cop now, is at the scene, though it’s not his investigation; he’s only helping the Melbourne Homicide Squad. But there’s something he’s not telling Brigitte.

With her personal life spiralling out of control once more, and fearing her family is in danger, who can Brigitte turn to? And what if she makes the wrong choice?

‘Dead in the Water’ is about trying to escape the cycle of trauma. It delves into the darkness beneath the surface of fear, betrayal, and revenge, to find a glimmer of hope.

See? By the end of the blurb, the whole thing became something entirely different to me.

What do you think of it? What blurbs have done this to you — started one way and finished somewhere else entirely?
