About this audiobook
After years of guilt over a long-ago tragedy, Candace Morgan is finally poised for success. The CEO of her own women’s shapewear company, she’s about to launch a new swimsuit line—and make a fortune. When she is guilted into loaning her brother a huge sum of money for real estate, she believes she’s simply fulfilling a family promise. In reality, she’s enabling a devious sociopath…and now, she’s roped into the renovation from hell.
For years, Monty Carawan has envied his sister’s wealth. Spiteful and self-centered, he’s convinced that her success came at the expense of his own future. But when the housing market plunges and Candace attempts to disentangle herself from Monty’s mess, her brother’s malicious streak brings the family tension to a dangerous boiling point.
Revised edition: This edition of Underwater includes editorial revisions.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Underwater might be interesting if you like Ms. McDermott's prose. Unfortunately I don't. The characters are straight out of soap opera – rich female entrepreneur, scheming slacker of a brother, slippery lawyer. Strange plot to extort money. Ms. McDermott writes long paragraphs of exposition telling us exactly what the characters are thinking and doing and what we should feel about it. Perfunctory dialogue. I stopped at about 10%.Good cover though.I received an advance review copy of Underwater by Julia McDermott (Amazon Publishing/Thomas & Mercer) through NetGalley.com.
