Description Water’s Fine: Suspense Novel by Janice Coy

Catalina Rodrigues believes she’s living her best life, traveling to exotic locations around the world as a scuba dive master, spending every moment possible in her beloved ocean.

Bertie Clark is excited for a week-long scuba trip with her husband exploring the underwater wonders of an ocean teeming with life – the Sea of Cortez.

But a tragedy on their dive boat sends both women into uncharted territory, questioning what they’ve always thought to be true, and fostering an unlikely friendship. Will either trust the invitation to “come on in, the water’s fine” again?

My Thoughts Water’s Fine: Suspense Novel by Janice Coy

There is a reason I rarely read suspense novels, like those by Mary Higgins Clark.  I read two of her books as a teen in the 70’s and they both seemed like they were the same book but with different characters.  However, when I read the description or ‘The Water’s Fine’ and saw the scuba diving angle, I was intrigued. I am so glad I decided to give it a try! 

Catalina is a scuba diving dive master working on a boat with customers on a scuba diving trip.  She has worked on various boats for 6 years and is very experienced.  For this week-long trip she is assigned a group of other very seasoned divers, some of whom are dive masters themselves.  She is happy to get a break from working with less experienced divers.

Bertie is a woman in the group who is there with her husband Max.  She has a zest for living and people can’t help but like her right away.  She and Catalina hit it off right away.  The trip is going well and the group has seen some amazing things on their dives.  However, on the last dive something goes terribly wrong.  Is Catalina to blame?

I love the relationship that Bertie build up long distance after the trip.  They are both strong, resilient women but question that strength and resilience.  Janice Coy is an excellent writer.  She grabbed my attention from page one!  I love the descriptions of the dives on the trip and felt like I was there.  The characters are fresh but realistic.  There was one small thing that I thought was a bit unrealistic in the plot which I can’t go into without giving away a spoiler.  However, it did not ruin the book for me at all.  ‘The Water’s Fine kept me up into the wee hours of the morning because I could not put it down.  I highly recommend it and want to thank Ms. Coy for breathing fresh life into the genre!  I can’t wait to read her next book!

4.5/5

I received the ebook for my honest opinion.
