Praise for Something in the Water

The perfect couple.
The perfect crime?
Erin is a documentary filmmaker on the brink of a professional breakthrough; Mark a handsome investment banker with a bright future. They seem to have it all. But do they?
On a dream honeymoon to the tropical island of Bora Bora, Mark takes Erin scuba diving. Everything is perfect. Until they find something in the water. Something that will change their lives forever.
Erin and Mark decide to keep their discovery a secret. No one else need know; they trust each other implicitly.
But someone else does know. And in situations like these, it is far better to trust no one, not even those closest to you …
Set to be the blockbuster read of the summer, this is an unmissable, fast-paced, jaw-dropping thriller from a debut writer destined for great things.

Jedna decyzja może zmienić twoje życie na zawsze… Erin już to wie. Właśnie dokonała złego wyboru i teraz musi coś ukryć.

Nie jestem złym człowiekiem. A może jestem. Może to ty powinieneś zdecydować?

Erin jeszcze niedawno planowała podróż poślubną, stała u progu kariery i wiodła doskonałe życie w pięknym domu w Londynie.

Kochała Marka, a Mark kochał ją. To była miłość z gatunku fanatycznych i nieokiełznanych, w której liczyli się wyłącznie oni. Do czasu wspólnych wakacji, gdy w morzu przypadkiem znaleźli pewien tajemniczy przedmiot, a ich życie jak z obrazka stało się koszmarem.

Co się wydarzyło? Co poszło nie tak? Jak niby-idealna historia miłosna zmieniła się w mrożący krew w żyłach thriller?

Jedna decyzja i wspólny sekret, który wiąże na zawsze – skoro nikt inny o nim nie wie, to nikomu nie może się stać krzywda, prawda?

Książka, od której nie sposób się oderwać. W jej przypadku zasada „tylko jeden rozdział przed snem” absolutnie się nie sprawdza!
