Book of the Week: Something in the Water

Something in the Water by Catherine Steadman
book

Something in the Water is the first novel by actor and writer Catherine Steadman, who played Mabel Lane Fox in Downton Abbey.

I am not usually a fan of thrillers, but I have enjoyed other Reese Witherspoon Book Club picks.

In this novel, Erin is a promising documentary filmmaker who has recently married a handsome and successful man.

The couple departs London, England to spend their honeymoon in beautiful Bora Bora.

While diving in paradise, the couple finds something disturbing in the water that leads them to make a series of decisions with life-altering consequences.

Steadman kept me on the edge of my seat while using humour to break the tension, which I appreciated.

This fast-paced, page-turning read is an excellent book to take on a winter holiday.

Steadman has a second book to be released in January 2020.
