When I downloaded this book (special offers on the first of a series) I had no idea it was Christian fiction. At first I was a little amazed at how overt the faith of the characters (Tammi, Zack, Vince) are in their beliefs, but it was a wonderful story. I like that even though they are Christians they are still human, misunderstand situations and people's motives, but they always seek guidance. Interestingly, even though they are all believers they don't always agree on what is the right action. The book was very real, reminded me of my workplace and demonstrated how standing up for the right thing, even if it might hurt us personally, has major reward.
It also pointed out how sometime, for the best of reasons, we can misunderstand people's motives and make swift judgments that are just wrong. It reminds me of the trueism that we judge ourselves by our motives and intentions but we more often judge others by their actions without trying to discover their motivations/intentions. Good book!
I am looking for other Robert Whitlow books to download!

This story is a pleasant adventure. I liked the challenge of being encouraged to not shrink from my convictions at work and in my daily life. Could I be as bold?

What disappointed you about Deeper Water?
After six chapters, this story is still plodding along.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Something with more suspense and action
How did the narrator detract from the book?
I don't blame her, the story is tedious.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Deeper Water?
I would condense the background information on the main character into (at most) two chapters.
Any additional comments?
After reading the reviews on this book, I expected a much more engaging story. I gave it six chapters to pull me into the story, but it's just too tedious to continue.

I learned something from listening to this book. From now on, I plan to read the comments on Amazon before choosing a book. I do not agree with the comments that were posted on this page when I made my choice. I listened to more than half of this book. I kept waiting for something to happen. I honestly thought this was in the “mystery” genre, because the publisher’s summary said, “Robert Whitlow’s legal thrillers draw favorable comparisons to the works of best-selling author John Grisham”. I found the protagonist to be very shallow, and quite childish for a woman finishing 2nd year of law school. She meets a Christian guy when she takes a summer job at a law firm in Savannah, goes on one date with him, and feels it necessary to call home to find out if she should continue a relationship with him??!! I’ve been a Christian for more than 30 years, and I must say that I’m not aware of any Christian families who believe that women must always wear dresses or skirts and never wear make-up. I agree that we must use wisdom in all things, but I found this family that Mr. Whitlow has created to be totally unrealistic. I will not be purchasing any more of this author’s books.

What disappointed you about Deeper Water?
If you want evangelical and Christian legal novels, this will be great for you. If not, read a fuller review than what Audible provides.

Where does Deeper Water rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It is one of my favorites! I have listened to it several times. Very good mystery and suspense novel with a hint of romance
Who was your favorite character and why?
Tammy is my favorite character. She is a thoughtful and intelligent young woman raised in a strict Christian home where she was homeschooled. As her parents homeschooled Tammy and her siblings they taught them to honor God in everything they do or say, honor parents, and care for others. They challenged Tammy to think through things while still maintaining that respect and honor during their interactions. As a homeschool mom myself, I appreciate Tammy's mom's homeschool style and I appreciate how that foundation plays out in Tammy's life as she moves through her summer internship at a law firm. You can see her growing and struggling but maintaining her walk with God and her relationship with her family, while she diligently searches for the truth in a case where a person's future is at stake despite pressure and opposition to let it go. I have met other home schooled young women who demonstrate a maturity beyond their years as well as this same depth of character and it inspires me. The author provides many layers to the book as he develops
her role as a live in helper to an elderly women and her relationships with the other interns at the office as well.
Have you listened to any of Suzy Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I enjoy Suzy Jackson's performances overall but this is one of my favorites by her a she made the characters especially Tammy come alive for me. I wanted to sit down and talk with Tammy!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes but it is way too long and also there is much to think about and reflect upon during the story, I found it inspirational and a reminder to live in a way that honors God, do what is right and care for others despite the pressures from the world and culture to do otherwise.
