Learn moreConsidered “one of the masters of psychological fiction in America” (San Francisco Chronicle), Kate Wilhelm sews up an irresistibly chilling puzzle that will keep listeners captivated until the very end.
When Jud Connors, a successful writer, is found murdered in his isolated cabin in the Oregon woods, his daughter Abby sees her world start to fall apart. Who could have wanted her father dead? And why? More puzzling is how anyone could have gotten to the cabin undetected. Was the murderer someone Jud knew?
As Abby embarks on her own investigation, she soon realizes that the clue to the murderer’s identity is buried in her father’s latest novel, finished just weeks before his death. But will she be able to see through the fiction before the killer comes after her?
Kate Wilhelm (1928–2018) was the bestselling author of dozens of novels and short-story collections. Among her novels are the popular courtroom thrillers featuring attorney Barbara Holloway. Her other works include the science fiction classic Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang.
Marguerite Gavin has recorded over three hundred audiobooks in numerous genres.

AudioFile magazine says "Marguerite Gavin is an accomplished storyteller . . . with a sonorous voice, rich and full of emotion, she easily delivers wry humor and moves smoothly from accent to accent, recalling multiple characters perfectly." Gavin divides her time as an actress between the sound studio and classical theater. She lives in the Washington, DC area.
Reviews
“Marguerite Gavin sets a brisk pace with her no-nonsense narrative style.”
“An outstandingly fluent, sensitive writer, Kate Wilhelm is able to really get inside her characters’ heads; she makes those small observations of behavior and emotion that go further toward defining human psychology than all the poetry and virtuosity in the world.”
“Wilhelm demonstrates once again her sure understanding of human nature and her ability to wring more suspense from emotional violence than the physical variety.”
“The Deepest Water is...a well-written, nicely paced outing.”
“The star of the book, strangely, is the cabin itself, a perversely menacing version of a Thomas Kincaid painting and a deliciously eerie setting for the mystery and murder, beckoning the reader to step inside.”
“Wilhelm is a first-rate novelist. Her characters are well drawn, the setting is real, and the pace keeps the reader raptly involved to the last page. Fans will love this, and readers who have encountered Wilhelm’s previous works are in for a real treat. Highly recommended.”
