REVIEW: Something In The Water

Something In The Water
Author: Catherine Steadman

Erin and Mark have a bright future before them. Erin makes documentary films. Mark is an investment banker. They have a picture perfect London wedding planned....the perfect food, the perfect venue, the perfect honeymoon.....the perfect couple. Until......   Things start to go south and the couple finds themselves faced with a decision that will completely change both their lives irrevocably. Their situation raises two huge questions:   What would you be willing to do to secure your "dream'' life? And, how well do you really know those closest to you? 

This book opens with a shocker.....and never lets up. I loved it! So delightfully intriguing with a sinister edge. This is definitely a story that provokes "What would I do in this situation?" thoughts. And side-eye glances at those around me wondering "What would THEY do if they were in it with me?'' Chilling story. Well written. Perfect pacing. Kept my attention from start to finish. Steadman takes a picture perfect couple and pulls their life apart bit by bit. And then introduces a simple object that harbors a choice. Something seemingly benign....just floating in the ocean. It's amazing how easily perfect can start to crumble. One choice. A path chosen. Consequences. Totally chilling. So much fun to read!!

Catherine Steadman is an actress. This is her first book. I will definitely read more by her....this was a very enjoyable, suspenseful book!
