Newlyweds – Mark and Erin – embark on a dream honeymoon to the tropical island of Bora Bora, where they enjoy the sun, the sand, and each other. Then, while scuba diving in the crystal blue sea, they find something in the water. Suddenly the newlyweds must make a dangerous choice: to speak out or to protect their secret.
Steadman brings... qualities of wit, timing and intelligence to this novel... Something in the Water is a proper page-turner, not just a novel produced by a celebrity to whom some wine-weakened publisher said at a cocktail party, 'You should write a book!'
[A] captivating if credulity-stretching debut ... The threats and increasingly bad decisions accelerate with Bourne-like velocity.... [Steadman is] a newcomer worth watching.
With unreliable characters, wry voices, exquisite pacing, and a twisting plot, Steadman potently draws upon her acting chops.... A darkly glittering gem of a thriller from a new writer to watch.
