The Deep End by Joseph Hayes reviewed as powerful
A mixed critique notes The Deep End strips civilization from a New York lawyer's life when his wife is away and a pair of beatniks invade. Adam Wyatt confronts morality, desire, and fear during four days of tension, leading to an ending that leaves readers to decide the outcome. The prose is stagey yet evocative, with strong focus on Wilby and Jenny and their destabilizing influence.
