Cold Waters is the first book in the Normal, Alabama series. One night a young girl named Violet and her friend Ainsley go out on a summer-night swim, but only Violet returns. Everyone thinks that she is a murderer, but Ainsley’s body was never found. Years later and after time spent in a psychiatric ward, Violet returns home. She is still haunted by that night and the townspeople haven’t forgotten either, accusing her of murder. As Violet makes it through the hot summer, she begins having visions of Ainsley’s fate. She’ll need to keep sane long enough to find out the truth.
Herbert is also the author of Not One of Us. The book follows Jori Trahan who is moving back home to Alabama to care for her grandmother and autistic brother. Thirteen years ago in this same town, her boyfriend vanished without a trace. Now that she is back in town, she comes face-to-face with the mystery behind his appearance. Jori has a rare form of synesthesia, meaning she can “hear” colors; and this will help in her search for the truth about what happened all those years ago.
