The narrative opens in Batavia (Jakarta) in 1634. Our protagonist, Arent Hayes, a former mercenary turner bodyguard, is accompanying his employer and friend, Samuel Pipps, on a voyage to Amsterdam. This trip is not for pleasure as Samuel, a famous detective, has been convicted of a 'mysterious' crime and is under arrest. Arent wants to prove his innocence, but not knowing the crime Samuel has been accused of obstructs his attempts to free him. Still, he's determined to protect him and decides to go alongside him to Amsterdam. As the passengers and crew embark this ship however, they are intercepted by a leper who perishes after pronouncing an ominous threat.

Eating. Everyone and everything is eating. The strong eat the weak. The weak eat the strong and become strong. Humans eat animals. Humans in a business suit eat humans in rags. Humans who refuse to eat are thrown into the "madhouse." Humans who are willing to eat can also be thrown into the madhouse, for they are weak. And the weak become sacrifices whenever sacrifices are demanded by the strong. I enjoyed the story and the atmosphere created and it was perfect reading for this time of year. I did find the book dragged a bit for me and I really think this story could have benefited with being shortened as it was very long and drawn out. I especially loved the Author’s note at the end although I do think he should have placed it at the beginning. He’s got a degree in English and Philosophy, which makes him excellent at arguing and terrible at choosing degrees.With this story? I didn’t. Instead, I felt completely immersed each time I opened a chapter and resumed reading. USC Scripter Award winners: 'Little Women' and 'Fleabag' ". AwardsWatch. 2020-01-25 . Retrieved 2021-08-30.

We did not refer to the fact that we were on this vessel, trapped in this demented cage, because we could not get off: because – as long as we wanted to stay alive – there was simply nowhere else to go.” Arent and Sara were similarly 'good'. Unlike most other people on the boat they do not approve of the

It lies beneath the sunlit layers of the present moment, throwing its shade across the foundations of our being, forming the self to come. If grasped and brought to the surface, it can save us or destroy us.” Simply put, the writing just doesn't feel natural. In many cases, it feels downright awkward, the worst offender being the dialogue. It is obvious - and appreciated - that the author is trying to recreate the indirect and (overly) formal tone of a 19th-century upper-class man, but I often feel that the author is deliberately tweaking her prose to achieve this effect. The adjectives are often Big Words, and the characters talk like books (in fact, if you took away the quotation marks, you might not be able to tell the dialogue from the narration). But instead of 19th-century Boston, I imagined an author writing furiously with a thesaurus at her side, and school play actors who just want to go home but are forced to stay on stage until their lines are over. Gosh, this book was dark in places. It also made me feel quite claustrophobic at times which I think was more to do with the wonderful language used more than the actual story at times. It was also a book that could be read on several levels. This first read of mine had me wanting to get to the end more than stopping and "smelling the roses" so to speak. If I re-read, and I fully intend to do so even though it is not something I usually do, I will definitely be taking my time and savouring the journey. It was also, for me anyway, quite a visual book for the most part. I don't always manage to "see" what I am reading but her the images conjured up in my head were quite vivid and indeed visceral at times and I think this also helped with my overall enjoyment of the book. It definitely brought the wonderfully crafted characters to life.

It's harder to ignore the devil's mark that miraculously appears on the sails, however. The incident, understandably, casts a sense of foreboding over the entire voyage. The partial memoir of Hiram Carver, a doctor of the mind in 19th century America, specifically relating to a young man he met during his brief and unpleasant time as a ship's doctor (assistant). William (Billy) Borden is a hero, or is he? The story goes that Billy saved several crew members when they were cast adrift following a mutiny. The truth, as it emerges, is somewhat less straightforward. Elizabeth Lowry structures Dark Water well. There are swift movements between times (now and past) and these are not predictable. Also starting with the sea and nearly closing with it kind of rounds things up. She slowly builds tension in clever ways, but the climax is slightly too long. Sinister occurrences seem to confirm our characters' fears: someone or something is set on stopping the ship from reaching its destination.Del Rosario, Alexandra (2020-08-22).

I seem to have found a new weird sub-genre that I love: books set on ships in the early 19th century. This is the third I’ve read in the past year over several different genres, and I’ve really enjoyed them all.

So many vendettas and scores to settle, the reader peels the layers of the mystery one by one. The last 1/4 seemed a bit smooshed. Jumbled. Like so many finale ideas thrown together, but it was still agreeable and aptly written and made me do some double takes. Very entertaining, fast read. For an author to be able to engage the reader into the depths of the story to the degree I did, I felt this a genuine skill not many writers can accomplish. Intricately detailed in a casual and entertaining way, this ensured you knew exactly how the scene was playing out and many a time I could sense the salt air and the grimy smell of the unwashed sailors. Not a pleasant sensory but a very necessary one, considering most toilet routines were carried out at the end of the ship and sailors often washed their clothes in their own urine. Mad? I wanted to shout. Aren’t you mad? And you? Aren’t I? We’re all mad. Here we are, piloting a wood-shaving over an abyss. Is there a better definition of madness?” Throughout the journey, the ship is haunted by what seems to be a devil and it’s up to Arent to solve the mystery.
