If you want a book that begins with a terrifying event (home
Invasion) and ends in murder and suicide than this is the book for you! The heroine is Lo Blacklock, a travel
journalist who drinks a bit too much and has the worst luck of any person you
could imagine. Just days after being
robbed in her apartment she leaves for a cruise which is also a job. How bad can a cruise on a luxury liner be as
an assignment?
Lo knows several of the other guests, was once in a
relationship with one of them, and is uncomfortable in her own soul, let alone
in the assignment which she thinks will make a difference in her career. A
couple of issues arise almost immediately though. First, she is claustrophobic
and being confined to a boat with only ten cabins is probably not a great idea.
Secondly, the first night after consuming alcohol she steps out on her balcony
to clear her head, hears a splash, sees blood on the screen of the next door
cabin and believes a passenger is in danger if not dead. Only problem, Cabin
ten is unoccupied!
So many things happen to keep the reader guessing about the
case or even if there is one. As the book progresses one can begin to figure
out the mystery but you are still surprised with the outcome. Friends are
enemies, enemies are friends. People who aren’t are and those who are aren’t.
Without giving too much away, I like the way the book ends. I think everyone is
given proper justice and Lo realizes that she is much more than she
though. She has hope for the future and
looks forward to new beginnings.
