"""Agatha Christie meets The Girl on the Train in this stupendously good read... Scary and unsettling, it's edge-of-your-seat stuff"" Sun on Sunday ""A tense, moody drama set on a press trip that goes horribly wrong... Ware has produced a fantastic variation on the woman-in-peril theme, with a plucky protagonist and a brilliantly claustrophobic setting"" -- Joan Smith Sunday Times ""A rollicking page-turner that reads like Agatha Christie got together with Paula Hawkins to crowdsource a really fun thriller"" Stylist ""A fantastic read. A fog-enshrouded cruise ship, a twisty puzzle of a murder mystery reminiscent of Agatha Christie, and unrelenting suspense. Batten down the hatches and prepare to read it in one sitting!"" -- Shari Lapena, author of The Couple Next Door ""[It] channels Agatha Christie's murders at sea in a satisfying contemporary direction."" -- Mark Lawson Guardian, Book of the Year"
