The Devil's Deep starts out as some kind of medical mystery, becomes a navel-gazing study of a pretentious law school student, and ends as a multi-generational thriller as a cast of infantile adults try to destroy each other's lives while the pretentious law school student steps in to save the day and maybe get laid along the way. I started to get interested about halfway through when the law school student and his boss/love interest go to Costa Rica, but then the entire plot line is revealed shortly after, though the book continues long after in an exhaustive attempt to wrap up loose ends that is destroyed by the bizarre epilogue. I think it has a lot of potential, if all of the dialogue was rewritten to seem like actual human speech and it was about a third of the length.

Good story. A big surprise and multiple bad people. It's a shame this was in my library for 10 years before I got to it!
