Deep Water by Patricia Highsmith

3.0

---

A strange and unsettling book, filled with a looming sense of menace. The first half of the book could be contemporary literary fiction about a husband who is tolerant of his wife's affairs and his difficulties in navigating social life in a small town. But there is something dark that throws a shadow over even the most banal of scenes, a hint at what is to come.
