'A real-life page turner more intriguing than anything on Netflix..' Matt Nixson, Mail on Sunday

'[A story] almost too mad to make up, too good not to tell.' Ben Dirs, BBC World News

In July 1978, two bodies were discovered in the sea off Guatemala. They were found to be the remains of Chris Farmer and his girlfriend Peta Frampton, two young British graduates. Having been beaten and tortured, then thrown, still alive, into the sea, their bodies had been weighted down and dumped from the yacht on which they had been crewing. For nearly forty years, no one was charged with these brutal murders.

This is the shocking and compelling story of how Chris's sister, Penny, and her family tracked down his and Peta's killer. For decades they painstakingly gathered evidence against Silas Boston, the yacht's American owner, working alongside police in the UK and the USA, as well as the FBI, until he was finally arrested and charged with two counts of murder in 2016. Astonishingly, Penny was able to track down Boston's son, whose bravery in testifying against his own father was the key to bringing down Chris and Peta's killer after so many years.

Dead In The Water is the story of a murder almost unimaginable in its cruelty and one ordinary woman's unwavering determination to find justice for her brother.

Chosen by O, The Oprah magazine, as one of its top twenty best true crime books of all time.

Perseverance finally caught a monster.

This audiobook real life tragedy kept my attention throughout the whole book. Narration was outstanding, If you love true crime don’t miss this one.

An amazing story. heartbreaking but motivating

I've got openly weeper the way I did listening to this harrowing account of torture! my heart breaks for all 3 families.

loved how this book got straight to the " meat" of the story and did not get lost with meaningless minutiae.

only one tiny issue, the author stated a few too many times that the crime and investigation occured before the benefit of cell phones, internet, faxes,etc. I found myself saying " we get it already". bothered me only because the story was so good I wanted her to get back to it. but that's just me. Could not put this book down

Interesting case, bad book

Too long, repetitive and full of platitudes.
If the author had concentrated on what actually happened to the victims and used a ghost writer it could have been wonderful true Crime book. Save your money and Google the case instead.
