Olivia and her boyfriend Aaron are booked on a voyage to the Antarctic to experience the midnight sun. Aaron is an art dealer and is planning a gallery auction onboard for a recently deceased artist, but the day they're ready to depart he leaves the ship to handle a work emergency and misses the departure. Olivia hasn't been on the water since a tragic boating accident in her teens, so the absence of Aaron onboard coupled with her work burnout, PTSD, and insomnia make her even more anxious and unstable. So the strange incidents that start to happen she at first chalks up to coincidence or her mind playing tricks on her. But she soon realizes there's a killer on board... and she his target!
This is an excellent locked room type thriller with a unique ship setting and the Antarctic location is described beautifully--cold and stark-- adding to the tension of the story. There were so many twists and turns and the final one that I never saw coming. Although I enjoyed her previous book Breathless a bit more, this was a really great book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
