Summary
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.

Short & Sweet
Great Prologue - 7.5/10 (spoilers below)
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.

Bit short
I enjoyed it and thought it was a cool take on mermaids, my only problems with it were that I would've liked it to be longer and I'm not crazy about the ending for the deaf character. He was a great character and I felt like his death was handled a bit comedically which didn't sit right, especially when the overall tone was serious.
Otherwise loved the disability rep though! Overall it was handled very naturally

Enjoyable but not outstanding
The idea was interesting and the characters came through well enough. I didn't find it incredibly gripping though and the horror didn't get a chance to build up a great deal.
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.

Splashing for a second time
Omg! I need more, more, more! Another great, yet shorter story from Mira Grant! So hope there is more coming soon!

Mira grant
I enjoyed 'Into the drowning deep' but this short prequal seems largely redundant. Think of the prequal to John Carpenter's The Thing, i.e more of the same only lesser and without the suspense of not knowing the ending.
