About this listen
When the Imagine Network commissioned a documentary on mermaids, to be filmed from the cruise ship Atargatis, they expected what they had always received before: an assortment of eyewitness reports that proved nothing, some footage that proved even less, and the kind of ratings that only came from peddling imaginary creatures to the masses.
They didn't expect actual mermaids. They certainly didn't expect those mermaids to have teeth.
This is the story of the Atargatis, lost at sea with all hands. Some have called it a hoax; others have called it a maritime tragedy. Whatever the truth may be, it will only be found below the bathypelagic zone in the Mariana Trench...and the depths are very good at keeping secrets.

Entertaining enough for it's three hour runtime but don't expect to be blown away.
Inventive, but Underwhelming

As a shorter story, I had expected us to be into the action as it were, a lot sooner than we did. That's nothing against the story - this is a good listen by all accounts, but not much horror happens in this horror book until the last hour or so. Once it does, however, it doesn't let up until the end!
Overall, I would recommend this book - I've a lot of respect for the author, having enjoyed several of her other books over the years. The narrator in this one definitely did the book justice for what makes a good 3 hour listen.

The performance really let the production down in my opinion. The tone used by the reader reminded me of a news report or an audio description for the blind - incredibly flat and matter of fact / droning. The dialogue was much better but the main narrative was really flattened by the delivery.
Enjoyable but not outstanding

This is the first of the series that I’ve listened to and I have to say for what feels like an extended screenplay for a movie Rolling in The Deep manages to make predatory mermaids feel like a legitimate and exciting threat. This is also not a criticism, it’s more that the audiobook translates very nicely in your head to a well visualised pastiche of intra-work relationships, science and boats, and fish-cryptids.
Also, at no point is it cringe. I don’t know if that’s needed but you read (or I did at least) ‘Mermaid’ and you die a little inside. Kind of like ‘unicorn’, but have no fear! These fish-wives will literally eat your face off.
Mira Grant’s writing is well paced and exciting. Characters are relatively well explored for a short work and the narration was top draw.
