Included at the front is a ‘Manifest of Notable Crew and Passengers’ which I kept flipping back to until I had all the players straight.

Dark Water by Elizabeth Lowry review – savagery at sea

PFOA and similar compounds are forever chemicals, chemicals that do not leave the blood stream and slowly accumulate. I have been super excited to read this since being completely bowled over by Turton's debut and it deff didn't disappoint but also didn't quite live up to the high bar reading experience that was Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. Following a long-drawn-out, insinuating show of kindness he later tempts his saintly employer into morphine addiction and then usurps the man’s position.Sammy’s best friend and bodyguard Arent Hayes is determined to prove him innocent, but that becomes difficult considering neither man knows what Sammy is being accused of. Pipps is currently locked in the bellows of the ship, leaving his bodyguard (Arent) to deal with the mystery. And, constant revelation being part of Turton’s technique, neither of them, of course, is what he seems. Like his first novel, this showcases Turton’s talent for the unusual, the complex, and the downright daring. But his inquiries are put on hold when the brutal death of a leper turns out to be the first in a series of mysterious and deadly happenings.

The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton | Goodreads The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton | Goodreads

Dark Water is historical fiction with high literary ambitions, employing a variety of narrative techniques – letters, court records, the confession of a man accidentally mesmerised by light on the sea. Along with the melodrama there is a lot in Dark Water about knitting and the mopping of floors, and it is all the more compelling for it. In a movie with more subtext than Rosemary’s Baby, nearly everyone, including Tim Roth as Dahlia’s lawyer, harbors secrets. The DowDuPont breakup earlier in the year spun off a new DuPont company that continued to lose value throughout the second half of 2019 as investors grew concerned about the potential liabilities related to the old DuPont's fluoropolymer products.

Arent and Sara investigate by asking the same boring questions to the same people, they explore the ship some more, and that's kind of that. I could easily picture the ship and its inhabitants, but it didn't feel like they were from the 17th century. When added to the roiling seas, the palpable sense of danger on the Saardam, and the intricacies of the relationships between the passengers, it’s literary dynamite.
