Synopsis

Charity Truitt and Elias Winter, two of the Pacific Northwest’s most powerful corporate figures, are both facing crises of career and the heart. Fate has brought them together in Washington’s tiny Whispering Waters Cove, each eager to downsize and simplify. They’re both determined to avoid mergers of any kind—but when they meet, the attraction is nothing short of blue-chip. And they definitely have at least one thing in common: A martial arts master, Elias is a novice at relationships; a formidable former CEO, Charity is starting in the mail room when it comes to love. But when the town is rocked by two shocking murders, Charity and Elias realize that they must join forces to catch a killer. Because behind the town’s sleepy façade run currents fed by treacherous secrets and Deep Waters.

About Jayne Ann Krentz

Doesn't it sound like fun using several different names while doing something you love as a job? That is exactly what ensued for Jayne Castle, as she grew through her writing career. She used Jayne Ann Krentz (her married name) for her writings about contemporary romantic suspense, as Amanda Quick, for her historical romantic-suspense, and today, she uses her birth name, Jayne Castle, for her stories of futuristic/paranormal romantic-suspense. It seems like great fun to have three personalities and not be considered schizophrenic! She is quoted as saying.......she uses a variety of pen names so that the reader will always know which of her three world's they will be entering when they pick up one of her books.

Jayne earned a BS degree in History from the University of California at Santa Cruz. Fearing that she would not have many opportunities with a history degree, she received a Master's Degree from San Jose State University in Library Science. After she spent a time as an elementary school librarian, she decided to move into higher academia, then into corporate library work. She had met her husband, Frank Krentz, at San Jose State, where he received his engineering degree.

Krentz spends much of her free time writing and speaking about the value to women that the romance genre represents. There are currently over 23 million copies of her books in print worldwide. She firmly advocates that......."romance is among the most enduring, because it addresses the values of family and human emotional bonds". She and her husband Frank live in Seattle, Washington.

Goodreads review by Jane on March 11, 2018

Good mystery and characters, but bad audiobook narrator. I enjoyed this as a paperback when I read it ten years ago. Recently I listened to the audiobook and was bored. There were too many philosophical comments about water like “Things are clearest in deep water” or “One pebble causes many ripples.”......more

Goodreads review by Jacob on January 01, 2014

I was curious how well a mid-90s Krentz novel would hold up and I have to say, I'm impressed. I quite enjoyed Deep Waters, though it's mostly pretty standard in a lot of ways. There were a few times when Charity was a little over-emotional, and I'd have preferred that Elias wasn't quite so... bleak,......more

Another JAK re-read (I've been on a roll lately!) that hits the spot. This time around we have two former corporate movers and shakers who have decided to slow down in the little town of Whispering Waters Cove. While Charity's reason for abandoning corporate life for one of a small-business woman on......more
