I really enjoyed this book! I love a locked room mystery, but I feel like many just pale in comparison to Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None. Well, this one manages to do the genre justice while adding its own unique twists and elements. 

The unique setting - inside a tiny pressurized chamber with six saturation divers - contributes to the novelty and overall tension throughout the story. I couldn’t put it down.

There were a few occasions - lengthy dive stories - where the pacing I think dragged a bit. Also I know that this ending is gonna be one I still think about years later!

Thank you NetGalley for an Advance Review Copy of this book.
