“The characters were outstanding, including the villains. I found them easy to relate to. The plot is interesting and the storyline is fascinating. This is a captivating and engrossing story and I loved every bit of it. Reading this story was a pure pleasure. I recommend it to anyone who loves a good suspense novel with some ancient legends mixed in.” —Reviewed By Susan Sewell for Readers’ Favorite

“A Deep Thing by A.K. Smith is a high concept thriller—think The Da Vinci Code of the deep—that grabs you from the beginning and doesn’t let go. A roller coaster ride of romance, suspense, mystery and intrigue, this page-turner surprises at every turn and offers a stunning ending you’ll never suspect. I never heard of cenotes—magical underground caves in the Yucatan Peninsula—so it was fascinating to learn about diving in these beautiful sinkholes. This book really packs a punch. It has everything from conspiracy theories to corporate greed and smart writing that doesn’t disappoint.” —Marilyn Baron, Author of Stumble Stones: A Novel
