I received an ARC of Something in the Water from Goodreads as part of a giveaway. My honest review is not required.

Erin and her new husband Mark are on a dream honeymoon to Bora Bora. They do all of the touristy things one would do on their honeymoon, scuba diving, sightseeing, shopping.

While on the honeymoon, a large storm hits the island forcing them to change their scuba plans. Now, rescheduled for a nice sunny day after the storm, the two set out. During their dive they locate the remains of a recently downed plane, and a large heavy suitcase.

Convinced it is better to turn in the suitcase rather than open it, they leave it with the front desk upon their outing return. However, a miscommunication lands the suitcase back into the newlyweds possession.

One drunken night, the pair decide to open the suitcase and to their astonishment find a bag of loose diamonds and a large sum of money.  They make the choice to keep the money and the diamonds and use it to begin their mew married life together.

This badly thought out decision set of a chain reaction of events putting both newlyweds in danger.

Erin finds out she is being followed shortly after depositing the money in a off shore bank account, and attempting to sell the diamonds. Mark attempts to convince her that she is not being followed and everything is fine.

Eventually the person hired to follow her, and the person who hired him is revealed. But, it is not what Erin was expecting.
