A review by recollections
The Deep by Nick Cutter

challenging dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

"the emergency lights flickered, then died. darkness fell like a guillotine blade."
