'When your last name is Chandler, your writing had better be good, and Tania Chandler delivers again. A crime writer who cares about her sentences as much as her characters, her atmospheric writing is taut and terrific. Dead in the Water is that rare book that satisfies as a stand alone novel but is actually a sequel. Whether you start with this or her first book, Please Don't Leave Me Here, Chandler demonstrates her ability to deliver a psychologically nuanced portrayal of damaged lives.' - Aoife Clifford, author of All These Perfect Strangers;'Chandler creates believable characters, having the ability to make the struggles of ordinary people compelling. Brigitte is an original hero - an ordinary person, with her own struggles, drawn into extraordinary events. The domestic drama is as compelling as the crime investigation.' - Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project;'Dead in the Water unsettles with an all-too-imaginable homegrown brand of suspense.' - Honey Brown, author of Through the Cracks
