Something in the Water

Amoral. I thoroughly enjoyed the hours I spent with the despicable protagonists of Catherine Steadman’s debut novel titled, Something in the Water. Erin and Mark deserve each other, given the secrets they keep from each other, and their separate and equal amoral behavior. After Mark loses his investment banking job shortly before their wedding, they constrain their spending: the minimum but large cost of their wedding reception; and a shorter-than-planned honeymoon in Bora Bora. While on that trip, they find something in the water that brings out the worst in both of them. Steadman moves the plot at a thrilling pace, and captures the venality, selfishness and amorality of these characters. Rating: Five-star (I love it) Click here to purchase Something in the Water from amazon.com.
