Sinister occurrences seem to confirm our characters' fears: someone or something is set on stopping the ship from reaching its destination. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Historical fiction is what my brain is calling out for at the moment. I can't seem to focus on books set in modern times as they feel too false, real life isn't like that at the moment due to coronavirus. So reading about a time when it wasn't a threat makes it easier for me to escape in a book. I very much need that escape right now.

The Devil and the Dark Water: The mind-blowing new murder The Devil and the Dark Water: The mind-blowing new murder

Tatatataaaa! The year is 1634 (when I write this review I can hear the voice over of Morgan Freeman in my head which improves my encouragement), an East Indian Company ship named “Saardam” is about to set sail and the passengers slowly arrive to board into the ship including a special passenger- a very famous detective Samuel Pipps: arrested and sent to Amsterdam for his trial accompanied by his devoted best friend& protector Arent Hayes whose only intention is proving Pipps’ innocence to the authorities. Samuel Pipps, a well-respected detective, happens to be aboard for the journey. Surprising to some is the fact that he is being transported as a prisoner, not a free traveler. Anastasia Christophilopoulou, Senior Curator of the Ancient Mediterranean at the Fitzwilliam Museum Set in 19th Century America - though parts are at sea - this follows the stories of Hiram Carver & William Borden. They first meet on board a whaling ship where Carver is the Doctor and Bordon a recently promoted but still lowly officer. We meet them again later where Carver is a Doctor in an upper class asylum and Borden a patient. No one is spared in this cycle of eating and being eaten: Adam Thornton had probably "eaten" many others in his business, and he in turn had been "eaten" by friends and associates. Dr Mansfield "ate" Adam Thornton and Ezra Todd and all the rest, and he was, of course, "eaten" by Hiram at last. Fitzgibbon - I think his was the most ironic case: he used to be the strongest on the ship, perpetually eating and feasting, but in that dinghy he wasn't strong enough. He wanted to be eaten. And "eaten" he was indeed - perishing soon after his rescue, becoming an ignominious footnote to Borden's heroic tale.

DarkWater by #ElizabethLowry (published by riverrun, a subsidiary of Quercus Books) is uniquely difficult to explain, and, therefore, review. You almost need to read it for yourself to understand all the connections. And then there’s Borden. He’s described as a sort of demigod, a supernatural figure. Now I do appreciate that we’re perceiving borden from Carver’s perspective, but the “elevated” language in which he’s consistently presented becomes rather over the top. I'm not often pulled in by philosophical musings/religious overtures and they typically tend to put me off more often than not - so that's a me vs the book issue 🤗 I thought it was fun to see "Watson" (Arent) handle the mystery, and I was cheering him on with each new reveal. Set in the 1600’s in Batavia (present day Jakarta, Indonesia) we are taken on a voyage on the merchant ship ‘Saardam’ an Indiaman laden with spices, under the charter of the East India Company across the high seas. Together with some fantastic naval scenes, intrigue, suspense and a hint of the supernatural, the three weeks the story is set at sea was atmospheric, thrilling and at times scarily entertaining.

Cecilia's teacher is troubled by Cecilia's "imaginary friend" Natasha and Dahlia catches Cecilia talking to Natasha as well. In the bathroom, Cecilia passes out as dark water gushes from the toilets and sinks. As Dahlia is busy meeting her lawyer, Jeff Platzer, Kyle takes their daughter to his home. I began to exist on intimate terms with all that is pitiful, misshapen, and unresolved in the human heart The year is 1634. Samuel Pipps, the world’s greatest detective, is imprisoned on a ship bound for Amsterdam, where he will be tried and executed for an unknown crime upon his arrival. Also on the ship is Arent Hayes, Sammy’s friend and personal bodyguard, and Sara Wessel, a high-ranking noblewoman with a secret plan of her own.Sammy Pipps isn’t simply clever,’ argued Arent. ‘He can lift up the edges of the world and peek beneath. He has a gift I’ll never understand. Believe me, I’ve tried.’" Every ship faces terror from the deep. What happens on the Orbis binds Carver and Borden together forever. When Carver recovers, and takes up a role at Boston's Asylum for the Insane, he will meet Borden again - broken, starving, overwhelmed by the madness that has shadowed him ever since he sailed on the Providence.
