In Deep Water

Water ingeniously fits into each of the six stories here. The title yarn reads a bit like a Blyton rip-off with dark strangers mysteriously in boats and two intrepid school gals bringing them to book. The tale of the young cox, reviled to dejection by his older crew during the race, but near deified afterwards, is good and 'No Sweat', where a young lad on a sponsored swim susses out just who the genuine folk are, has deceptive depths ... ugh!
