The Crossing of Ingo Reviews

Praise for The Deep

Dunmore's writing, steeped in maritime legends, is exquisite. The descriptions of plunging 'sleek and fast as a seal' through turquoise water into the rich blue-purple that lies beneath are gorgeous.. The Deep is sophisticated and supple. The Daily Telegraph

Dunmore's series is written in a sensual, descriptive prose that evokes the watery kingdom with conviction. Characters are clear-cut and written with exuberance. Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times Culture

Just as spellbinding as its predecessors. Waterstone's Books Quarterly

Dunmore appears to be able to turn her hand to any genre and transform it with her golden touch, making it wholly compulsive and convincing. Glasgow Herald
