#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A shocking discovery on a honeymoon in paradise changes the lives of a picture-perfect couple in this taut psychological thriller debut--for readers of Ruth Ware, Paula Hawkins, and Shari Lapena.
"A psychological thriller that captivated me from page one. What unfolds makes for a wild, page-turning ride! It's the perfect beach read!"--Reese Witherspoon (Reese's Book Club pick) NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY GLAMOUR AND NEWSWEEK - FINALIST FOR THE ITW THRILLER AWARD If you could make one simple choice that would change your life forever, would you? Erin is a documentary filmmaker on the brink of a professional breakthrough, Mark a handsome investment banker with big plans. Passionately in love, they 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. . . . Could the life of your dreams be the stuff of nightmares? Suddenly the newlyweds must make a dangerous choice: to speak out or to protect their secret. After all, if no one else knows, who would be hurt? Their decision will trigger a devastating chain of events. . . . Have you ever wondered how long it takes to dig a grave? Wonder no longer. Catherine Steadman's enthralling voice shines throughout this spellbinding debut novel. With piercing insight and fascinating twists, Something in the Water challenges the reader to confront the hopes we desperately cling to, the ideals we're tempted to abandon, and the perfect lies we tell ourselves.

"Captivating... The threats and increasingly bad decisions accelerate with Bourne-like velocity.... Daring... Steadman [is] a newcomer worth watching." -- Publishers Weekly
"An unbearably tense debut with a knockout premise, Something in the Water had me hooked from the very first sentence. Thrilling and thought-provoking, it's the perfect beach read. I devoured it!" --Riley Sager, bestselling author of Final Girls
"This is a book that puts you right into the shoes of the characters and has you asking: what would I do? You may find yourself increasingly uncomfortable with your answers. An unputdownable story that begs the age-old question of how well we can ever know someone else. And, perhaps even more important, how well do we know ourselves?" --Amy Engel, author of The Roanoke Girls
"I absolutely loved Something in the Water . As frightening as it is funny, it feels like a thriller for our times, a caper with a dark heart. Catherine Steadman is a fresh and playful new voice and I can't wait to see where her imagination takes her next." --Louise Candlish, author of The Swimming Pool and Our House
"Brilliant." --Catherine Isaac, author of You Me Everything
" Something in the Water is a fascinating moral dilemma, a fast-paced examination of the slippery slope and the precarious foundations our middle-class lives are built on, and a sensitive examination of a marriage under pressure. I just loved everything about it.... Steadman has written a taut and smart thriller, and I think she is a genuinely unique voice in crime fiction--I can't wait to see what she does next." --Gillian McAllister, author of Everything But the Truth and Anything You Do Say
