Synopsis

Now a major film starring Oscar-winner Ben Affleck and Golden Globe-nominee Ana de Armas.

'If you read crime stories at all or perhaps especially if you don't, you should read Deep Water'
SUNDAY TIMES

'If I really don't like somebody, I kill him . . . You remember Malcolm McRae, don't you?'

To everyone around them, Melinda and Vic Van Allen are the perfect couple - young, wealthy and attractive. But when their love sours, their mind games reach a twisted, dangerous climax.

'If I really don't like somebody, I kill him . . . You remember Malcolm McRae, don't you?'

Melinda Van Allen is beautiful, headstrong and sexy. Unfortunately for Vic Van Allen, she is his wife. Their love has soured, and Melinda takes pleasure in flaunting her many affairs to her husband. When one of her lovers is murdered, Vic hints to her latest conquest that he was responsible. As rumours spread about Vic's vicious streak, fiction and reality start to converge. It's only a matter of time before Vic really does have blood on his hands.
