My Thoughts This was a new to me author. There were numerous characters to keep tabs on, and a lot of events happening in this book. Freya has ulterior motives of being on the luxurious yacht. The pace is unchanging, the characters are well developed, and it’s an easy, quick read. Moreover, it is hard to include it in the list of thrillers but it is a good book anyway. Thank you to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.
