River Woman, River Demon: A Novel

 This book just showed up as something to read from Overdrive. It wasn't bad. It focuses on a woman who lived with her university professor husband and children in New Mexico. Then weird things happen. He goes down to the river near their home and finds a family friend dead. They all the police and he is arrested. This brings back memories for the woman from her past. She had been swimming with a friend when the friend drowned. She didn't think that she did it, but worries that she might have done something supernatural.

The story then unfolds as a crime drama with supernatural elements. The family members are all involved in some supernatural arts. We are not sure who had commited the murder. Was it something supernatural? Did the wife do it out of jealousy? Or the husband? There are many twists and turns and a few affairs before it finally comes to the unexpected conclusion. Multiple drownings and attempted drownings are all connected.
