Praise for THE CHAMBER

“Dean (THE LAST ONE) shrewdly reimagines the closed-circle murder mystery in this tense and claustrophobic nail-biter set in an underwater hyperbaric chamber… Dean maintains unyielding strain on his characters, brilliantly riffing on a classic setup while flexing his gifts for style and characterization. The results are gripping.” 

"THE CHAMBER is a masterful claustrophobic thriller, crafted with the precision of a fine watch and the reveals executed with more depth than a North Sea oil rig. Just brilliant!"

"I was utterly gripped by THE CHAMBER. This unbearably  tense thriller conjured a claustrophobic atmosphere that had me reaching for the escape hatch even in the open spaces of Devon. Well-drawn characters and excellent prose. A superb summer read."

“THE CHAMBER by Will Dean is the ultimate locked room page-turner. Six saturation divers trapped in a hyperbaric are dying one by one under mysterious circumstances and don’t know who to trust. The isolation and fear are palpable, and the impending dread thrums along with a steady, heart-hammering intensity. Dean’s meticulous research into the day-to-day duties of saturation divers lays the groundwork, but it’s his ability to thrust readers into the metal chamber and slam the door behind them that makes THE CHAMBER a haunting, unforgettable thriller.”

“If you look up the definition of locked-room mystery, don’t be surprised to see the cover of THE CHAMBER by Will Dean. Saturation divers dying inside a locked hyperbaric chamber with no way out for four days is one of the most unique and compelling premises I’ve read in a long time. It was claustrophobic, intense, and as the pressure built and the countdown to the surviving divers’ freedom was on, I couldn’t put the book down for a single second. THE CHAMBER is perfection, Dean’s writing and research are flawless, and I can’t wait for whatever new mind-blowing gem he comes up with next.”

“Breathtaking. Terrifying. Unforgettable. So tense you’ll want to put it down, so thrilling you won’t be able to. The Chamber is simply brilliant.”

“A highly original thriller set in the claustrophobic, high-risk world of saturation diving. The tension is almost unbearable. A masterclass in suspense—I absolutely loved it!”

“It takes locked-room mysteries to new depths like never before. If someone had told me to read a book set in a decompression chamber, I would have passed but I went in blind and found all of the meticulously researched facts absolutely fascinating. Once you start to read the book, the pressure is on to finish it which I did in two days.

It is a tour-de-force. If your daily job can kill you in multiple ways, you certainly don’t expect to be targeted by your colleagues. Chilling, intriguing and educational in a most entertaining way.”
