The author of the “master class in suspense” (Shari Lapena,New York Timesbestselling author)The Chamber returns with a high-tension thriller about a family’s descent into darkness that is perfect for fans of Dennis Lehane and Lisa Jewell.

Peggy and Drew, both aspiring writers, move to an isolated canal boat with their fourteen-year-old son. Peggy is the glue that holds their family together, even as their son is bullied relentlessly for his physique and his family’s lack of money. But when Drew becomes frustrated by his wife’s sudden writing success, he moves their boat further and further from civilization.

With their increasing isolation, personal challenges become harder to ignore, even as they desperately try to break toxic generational patterns. But when Drew’s gaslighting becomes too much for Peggy to take, it sets off a catastrophic series of events.

With Will Dean’s signature “well-drawn characters and excellent prose” (Sarah Pearse, New York Times bestselling author), Adrift is gripping exploration of the ties that bind when everything spirals out of control.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for THE CHAMBER

“Dean (THE LAST ONE) shrewdly reimagines the closed-circle murder mystery in this tense and claustrophobic nail-biter set in an underwater hyperbaric chamber… Dean maintains unyielding strain on his characters, brilliantly riffing on a classic setup while flexing his gifts for style and characterization. The results are gripping.”

"THE CHAMBER is a masterful claustrophobic thriller, crafted with the precision of a fine watch and the reveals executed with more depth than a North Sea oil rig. Just brilliant!" (Janice Hallett, internationally bestselling author of THE EXAMINER)

"I was utterly gripped by THE CHAMBER. This unbearably tense thriller conjured a claustrophobic atmosphere that had me reaching for the escape hatch even in the open spaces of Devon. Well-drawn characters and excellent prose. A superb summer read." (Sarah Pearse, New York Times bestselling author of THE SANATORIUM)

“THE CHAMBER by Will Dean is the ultimate locked room page-turner. Six saturation divers trapped in a hyperbaric are dying one by one under mysterious circumstances and don’t know who to trust. The isolation and fear are palpable, and the impending dread thrums along with a steady, heart-hammering intensity. Dean’s meticulous research into the day-to-day duties of saturation divers lays the groundwork, but it’s his ability to thrust readers into the metal chamber and slam the door behind them that makes THE CHAMBER a haunting, unforgettable thriller.” (Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of THE OVERNIGHT GUEST and EVERYONE IS WATCHING )

“If you look up the definition of locked-room mystery, don’t be surprised to see the cover of THE CHAMBER by Will Dean. Saturation divers dying inside a locked hyperbaric chamber with no way out for four days is one of the most unique and compelling premises I’ve read in a long time. It was claustrophobic, intense, and as the pressure built and the countdown to the surviving divers’ freedom was on, I couldn’t put the book down for a single second. THE CHAMBER is perfection, Dean’s writing and research are flawless, and I can’t wait for whatever new mind-blowing gem he comes up with next.” (Hannah Mary McKinnon, internationally bestselling author of ONLY ONE SURVIVES. )

“Breathtaking. Terrifying. Unforgettable. So tense you’ll want to put it down, so thrilling you won’t be able to. The Chamber is simply brilliant.” (Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of WE BEGIN AT THE END)

“A highly original thriller set in the claustrophobic, high-risk world of saturation diving. The tension is almost unbearable. A masterclass in suspense—I absolutely loved it!” (Shari Lapena, New York Times bestselling author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR)

Wow

I liked the story but this audio doesn’t follow the story in the book it changed some words the narrators were good though.

Torn on this one

First let me say, if you struggle with weak characters who don't see what's blatantly obvious, this will be torture for you like it was for me. It was good, but man, the spineless protagonist was torture

Should have been titled GASLIGHTING

I don’t think I have ever hated a character more than Drew. He’s a vile, narcissistic, gaslighting, pompous, self-important lunatic. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more sorry for a character as I did for Drew’s son Samson. That poor kid was so tormented. This book was hard to listen to - but impossible to stop listening to at the same time.

Captivating

Full of twists and turns, darkness and light, love, survival, endurance…an intricate tale that you will not be able to put down once you start.

Couldn’t Stop Until it was Done

I found myself really emotionally invested with these characters. I was practically talking to the book. I highly recommend.
