8.6.2024 - The Chamber

The Chamber by Will Dean 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria/Emily Bestler Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by Will Dean, who can do no wrong in my book.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!

Six experienced deep sea saturation divers are locked inside a hyperbaric chamber.  They know all the dangers and take all the precautions necessary to survive.  Then one of them is found dead.  With four days of decompression left before the locked hatch can be opened, the group must now question each other.  Will any of them survive?

I cannot imagine the research that had to go into this book, because it was a total immersion (pun intended) experience.  It also brings up the fact that we are totally unaware and so unappreciative of all those people who do horrible jobs so that we can go along blissfully unaware in our own lives.  If you like a locked-room mystery, this is for you.  It's so tense and the countdown is on to see what is happening to these divers.  I was shocked at the first twist and a little confused at the end, but that was all part of the fun.  This is a don't miss read - highly recommended!
