About this listen
The Dark Beneath was previously published as Tenacity.
In this breathless thriller, Lieutenant Dani Lewis must uncover the dark truth after a suspicious death on a navy submarine. Fans of M. J. Arlidge and Elly Griffiths will be absolutely gripped.
A sailor is found dead onboard the navy submarine Tenacity.
Although it's ruled a suicide, Lieutenant Dani Lewis, fearless star of the Special Investigations Branch, knows the man's wife was found brutally murdered only days before. Now she must enter the cramped confines of HMS Tenacity and interrogate the tight-knit, male-only crew to determine if there's a link.
Trapped deep in the ocean - the only woman onboard with a possible killer in tow - the pressure rises quickly for Dani Lewis. And she may need to choose between the truth and her own survival if she's to make it out alive.
Two hundred metres below the surface, she will have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide....

It was unbelievable that Dan, having already been in huge trouble for not going for help in a previous case, that she would behave the same way.
The conversation with Felicity was a clumsy way of moving the story forward and very dull.
That said, it was a good listen for 80% of the time.
Tenacity needed to finish

The parallels the author draws from his experience as a submariner strike home with real effect. Couple this with a gripping storyline that leaves you desperate for the next chapter and a lead character that has real appeal as an investigator gifted with talented instincts but suffering as a result of her own life decisions makes the read that more indulgent. I was expecting the story to conclude..... but am left excited at the prospect of how events unfold in the future.
This novel is a must. if you are a submariner....it will really hit home. If you are not, then I can't think of a more inciteful read than this to give a feel for how a brotherhood can be guilty of pulling together, and excluding, yet operate as professionals in the most challenging of environments. The Fictional Twist that the author has developed really plays off the weaknesses inherent to the services.
a must read made better by Audio books

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Recommended if you like a well-written, tense mystery/thriller. The first in a naval series from debut author J. S. Law. As he is ex Royal Navy (including submarines) the authenticity shines through. You don’t get much more terrifyingly claustrophobic than on a submarine with a killer out to get you. Ashore wasn’t any safer either. That was the most edge-of-my-seat book I have read in a long time, and I read a lot! I actually yelled "NO" at the last line. I am sure this will rocket up the best-seller charts.What does Lisa Coleman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
She is the perfect reader for this book, edgy, determined voice, just like the main character!Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, in fact I kept reading it way past my bed-time as I didn't want to put it downAny additional comments?
He has two more in the pipeline and I can’t wait for them! As ex WRNS myself I can assure you, this is a brilliant book!Edge of your seat thriller
