Description from Goodreads:
"Six experienced saturation divers are locked inside a hyperbaric chamber. Calm and professional, they know that rapid decompression would be fatal and so they work in shifts, breathing helium, and surviving in hot, close quarters.
Then one of them is found dead in his bunk.
With four days of decompression to go before the locked hatch to the chamber can be safely opened, the group must watch one another’s backs at all times. And when another diver is discovered unresponsive, everyone is on edge. What…or who…is taking them out one by one? And will any of them still be alive by the time the four days is up or will paranoia, exhaustion, suspicion, and pressure destroy them all?"

I have read a couple of Will Dean's previous books and have enjoyed them and this was no exception.
The Chamber is a take on the 'locked-room' genre but with a difference; six divers are locked in a hyperbaric chamber ready to start their four week shift working on oil lines in the depths of the Atlantic. All seems to be going to plan until one of the divers is found dead ... then another - what is going on? Are they being picked off one by one? Who is doing it? One of the divers or someone from the outside? So many questions!
Written from the perspective of Ellen Brooke, one of the very few female deep sea divers; this book is full of atmosphere and tension and whilst it has quite a bit of "technical-speak" at the beginning, it's necessary for the story and clearly Will Dean has done an awful lot of research as it felt authentic to me.
With great characters, oodles of tension and a real sense of claustrophobia, this is a great thriller that kept me guessing right until the end and afterwards and many thanks to the author, Hodder & Stoughton and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of The Chamber.
