From the start, the story of Erin and Mark reeled me in. Catherine Steadman's narration is fantastic. Her voice and pacing really added to the story and I truly enjoyed the audio version. I try not to read spoilers, so the thing that they find in the water was a surprise and really intrigued me... Overall, good storytelling.

3.5 stars. Read by the author who is an actress. Some good suspense some other parts not quite believable.
This one was a slow builder. There were many times throughout the second half of the book where I found myself wondering what I would do if I were in the situation that Mark and his wife found themselves in. The book kept my interest enough that I finished it, but there were too many sub plots that I didn’t really feel like flowed with the overall storyline.
This is my first review to ever leave on here.
I was unsure about this book when I saw quite a few negative reviews. However, I thoroughly enjoyed it. One review said that the audio was incredible, and they were on point. It was definitely incredible. I will say that I didn’t enjoy the way the last few minutes ended, and I slightly expected the twist at the end. But, I was enveloped by the story for every second of it. I loved the way it was told, and enjoyed the writing. For me, I would describe it as a cozy thriller. I do feel like the ending was rushed just a bit, but I’m also one of the types that likes a clean wrap up at the end of a story. No part of me regrets spending my time to listen to this story.

Started reading this for a book club my partner wanted to go to. I was bored.
3.5 stars rounded down. This book felt like a slog sometimes. I thought a few of the characters were unnecessary, they didn’t add much to the story. And about halfway through I started to suspect who the antagonist was. Wasn’t an awful book by any means, maybe just not my style.
