I have read several of this author’s books, but this is the first one with a historical basis. While based in fact, characters were fictional and well developed. I would highly recommend this book as well as his others.
Easy and enjoyable read. Realpage Turner. Good character development

Excellent.
Mr. dan Walsh has the ability to pull you in to his story. Encourages each reader, to be a better person. Was so happy with the ending.

The Deepest Waters was enjoyable and informative. I was intrigued by it’s historical story and after completing it, I looked up the facts surrounding the story. I learned more history that I found very interesting. Who would think one ship could affect American history is so many ways! I was glad I read it and it was all told in an interesting way.
