It’s been an exciting time of late, putting together fiction pages for for My Weekly and People’s Friend print magazine but today I’m delighted to share detail of another of my online My Weekly reviews, this time of The Dive by Sara Ochs.

Published by Penguin on 20th July 2023, The Dive is available for purchase through the links here.

The Dive

Escape to paradise.
Scuba diving instructor Cass leads her students out for their first dive off the beautiful coast of Koh Sang, Thailand’s world-famous party island. It’s supposed to be a life-changing experience, but things quickly spiral out of control…

Leave your secrets behind.
By the time she gets back to the shore, one of her students is dead, another badly injured, and she knows that her idyllic life is about to be smashed to pieces on the rocks.

But don’t get lost for ever…
Because someone is making sure that backpackers never leave paradise – one murder at a time. And Cass has a feeling she might be next…

My Review of The Dive

My full review of The Dive can be found on the My Weekly website here.

However, here I can say that it’s no wonder The Dive is billed as the debut thriller of 2023.  It’s fast paced, claustrophobic and a cracking read – unless you were thinking of attending a dive school in Thailand in which case, go somewhere else!
