Blood in the Water

The Untold Story of a Family Tragedy

De: Casey Sherman

Narrado por: Casey Sherman

"Blood in the Water is a twisty true crime narrative of greed, suspicion, and revenge, taking us from the high seas to the mansion of an enormously wealthy family. Compelling and cinematic, it keeps you guessing about the complicated family at the heart of this saga until the very last page."—Shawn Cohen, New York Times bestselling author of College Girl, Missing

Troubled waters hide deadly secrets…

When Nathan Carman, a young man with a complicated past, is miraculously rescued from a lifeboat bobbing in the unforgiving North Atlantic, questions swirl about the fate of his mother, who is presumed to have drowned when their fishing boat sank. Nathan is in remarkably good shape for being lost at sea for a week, and his account of what exactly happened out there on the waves raises questions from family members and law enforcement.

Nathan's story of a fishing trip gone awry doesn't quite add up, and suspicion mounts. The mysterious murder of Nathan's multi-millionaire grandfather a few years before had made Nathan's mother an extremely wealthy woman. With a seven-million-dollar fortune at stake, did Nathan commit the ultimate betrayal? Or is there more to this tragic tale than meets the eye?

From New York Times bestselling author Casey Sherman comes a gripping contemporary true crime narrative for everyone who was fascinated by the Murdaugh murders, and for anyone compelled by the intersection between money, power, and family.

Captivating

I really enjoyed this book - it definitely kept me listening and was really a “fun” listen if you’re into true crime. I love true crime podcasts. Also, the author narrated, which I often shy away from but he was really good.

Truth is DEFINITELY stranger than fiction

Loved this book. As someone from New England it was a case I was familiar with. Amazingly twisted and confounding. Excellent job with the research from the author It really got me thinking 🤔

Great true crime puzzle

This crime was new to me. It was well researched and the narrative was laid out succinctly without repetitions of facts (a bane of true crime storytelling). The characters were colorful and the plot had many twists. I greatly enjoyed the listening experience.

A Terrific Listen!

I devoured Casey Sherman’s audiobook while on vacation and could not stop listening. He masterfully captured the various dysfunctional relationships among family members who were affected by two deaths and the book’s antagonist, Nathan Carman. The book spans 10 years of mystery surrounding Carman’s grandfather’s murder and his mother’s loss at sea, both circumstances never fully resolved. Sherman expertly weaves thousands of hours of interviews, and various media and court records to create a coherent yet enigmatic story. Readers are left hungry for Sherman’s next book or the Blood in the Water’s miniseries.

That I did begin to wonder if Nathan was guilty, unfortunately ultimately despite questions I do believe he was guilty.

I liked the narration being read by the author and not an actor. I would have liked more insight into Nathan’s aunts
