Does anyone know why this book is titled U is for Undertow? I didn't pick it up in the story.

Pam She talks about an ill-planned harbor restoration that caused dangerous rip currents or "undertows" at one point in the book. You can draw parallels with a poorly planned crime that drags a number of people under. A very good title, in my opinion.
Catherine Donnelly I didn't see the correlation either until I just read Pam's reply and now it makes sense.
Jennifer no i don't its weird
Tara Ditto about Michael Sutton's mother drowning as the source of the title. But I think you can also make a parallel that sometimes people don't have full control of their own lives, and are carried away by circumstances that can have ill consequences.
Bonnie Someone's mother drowned in the undertow. I got very confused in this book with the various characters.

Wise Cat I didn't get it either. But I enjoyed the book immensely.

I just finished it a couple of days ago. Sorry so late on this reply but I wanted to reply I didn't see what the title meant either. The other one I read, F is for Fugitive, made sense I remember.
