Emily Cavanagh, author of This Bright Beauty and The Bloom Girls

“A haunting novel that grabbed me from the first page…I love books that either teach me about a topic I knew nothing about or allow me to firmly root myself in someone else’s experience that is completely unlike my own―The Music of the Deep is the rare novel that did both.”

Dan Pedersen, author of Final Deception, Final Passage, and Final Escape

“The Music of the Deep is a rich and complex mystery of many threads that kept me guessing and built to a page-turning finish. I loved it for the intrigue, the Northwest natural history, and intimate glimpses of village life. The author really did her homework!”
