About this listen

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.

Real “edge of the seat” story. Tried to stop but ended up listening to the whole thing in one go. New author for me too. “Phew”

I'm glad this was free. An enjoyable story. Bit very teenage tv show. reminiscent of Pretty little liars. with the main nasty character vanishing and weird notes. I half expected to be signed from A.
none the less. a nice story to distract myself from work to be done. A story of toxic friendships. Could have been far shorter. The narrators are good. great to help differ each character rather than 1 person changing voice. Predicable but ok

Very teenage based

What a great thriller! And addictive. I couldn’t stop listening! My new fave author, when’s the next book out?! I was totally hooked and wanted to see what the characters would do next.

Addictive!

Overall a good story with interesting twists. None if the characters were likable. But that makes the author's story telling skills quite significant because one wants to know more despite disliking everyone. So much so I want to know her other books too.
A definite avoidable downside is the poor grammar. There is now excuse for sentences like "she told Hugh and I". A pathetic and repeated error on the pretext of coming across as literate. If it's possible to be unsure about basics like this, at least use an app to keep you right.

Decent Suspense

I’m surprised the proof reader didn’t pick up on obvious discrepancies but it didn’t spoil the story.
Five graduates on one last holiday ends in tragedy.

Better than expected

Someone recommended this to me and I took a chance on it. Rather a huge change from the military Sci-fi I usually read. It's a kind of 'Country House Who Done It', (or maybe 'Who Is Going To Do It) set in a posh resort and on a boat, with a bunch of singularly unlovable rich people getting smashed. It was moderately listenable-to, but rather tedious and the ending was utterly disappointing.
Basically a waste of a credit for me.

A bit silly!

Nothing new in this rich girl gone bad tale but lots of fun as you try to figure out alliances, crushes, personalities and motives. Perfect beach listen.

A lot of fun

Great story, great narration and great characters. An easy listen. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it and hooked from the start.

Hooked from the get go...

I felt the characters were mostly unlikeable and the plot a bit contrived. The ending felt rushed. An OK listen but not one I'd recommend nor go back to, unfortunately.

OK - since it was free!
