"Something in the Water" by Catherine Steadman

My Thoughts....

I enjoyed this good fast paced and thought provoking read which was about two newlyweds [Erin & Mark] who honeymooned Bora Bora.  They enjoyed the weather, great food and loved scuba diving, however while scuba diving they find something in the water that did definitely change their lives. How will this twist of fate change their lives as they had back home to plan what they will do with the items found in that suitcase?  How will these two deal with 'a sudden ethically and legally challenging issue.'  Definitely there will be some very bad reasoning made that will only follow in a wave of horrible decisions for these two.  

I liked how this author was able to draw the reader into a riveting psychological suspense-thriller and mysterious read where one will find themselves on the edge of your seat with all that will be happening in this story from all of its twist and turns. The author really knows how to give the reader a well developed plot as well as defined characters that will keep your attention.  So, if you are interesting a a roller coaster ride you will be into a treat from this read.
