Summary

Five friends. One yacht. No escape.

For fans of The White Lotus and Below Deck, from Holly Craig, #1 bestselling author of The Rip, comes a pulse-pounding thriller about the dangerous ties that bind us. Performed by an all-star cast: Madeleine Madden (The Wheel of Time), Archie Madekwe (Saltburn), Josh Dylan (Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again) and Sofia Oxenham (Extraordinary).

When Vivian Leroux invites her closest university friends on an extravagant sailing trip through Australia's Whitsunday Islands, it seems like the perfect graduation celebration. But beneath the glittering surface of sun, sea and champagne, dark secrets and bitter rivalries are simmering. As the trip unfolds, Vivian's manipulative games push everyone to their breaking point. Tensions rise and loyalties shatter. Then Vivian mysteriously vanishes in the middle of the night.

With no trace of their friend and evidence of foul play mounting, the remaining four must decide how far they'll go to protect themselves. As accusations fly and paranoia takes hold, no one can be trusted.

Great characters, well told, kept me guessing. Loved the story. I enjoyed the description of the Whitsundays.

Great listen, unpredictable to the end.

Intriguing and addictive, each character a different desperate personality. A bit of a long drawn out beginning before the suspense really kicked in and an ending that was a bit anti climax. A good listen and I would recommend.

Bummer about the ending

Great for a free listen. Interesting characters. Twists and surprise ending. The voice actors were good, pleasant to listen to.

Great for a free read.

The tension was consistent throughout. The storyline was viable. At times a word became repetitive e,g. When Hugh and Amy were heading to the cove the word “shark” was used 3 times. At times the writing was a little wordy, but overall it was a jolly good listen. NOTE: the music played was dreadful!

A good who done it
