Something in the Water

Catherine Steadman Simon & Schuster. Out now Scuba diving while on honeymoon in the Pacific, Erin and Mark make a shocking discovery. But it’s the choices they make afterwards that drive the propulsive plot of this highly addictive thriller. As you ask yourself: “Well, what would I do?”, you are swept along in the unravelling of what seemed like a perfect life – as greed rises to the surface, and all is revealed to be not quite what it seemed. From the attention-grabbing opening, through the subtle clues about the character of narrator Erin, it’s hard to believe this polished novel is a debut. Hopefully, it will be the first of many.
