A suspense thriller reminiscent of TV hit Succession if it took an even darker turn.

The plot: Emily hasn’t spoken to her friend Belle in years. Now married to the head of a huge wealthy family, Belle invites Emily onto a cruise with her for moral support. And maybe protection… Because Belle has news that will upset the family’s grown children, putting their inheritance at risk.

Over five nights, battle lines are drawn, arguments ensue, and very soon lives are put at risk. Can Emily survive – and keep her own secrets?

This is a light and fast-paced thriller that you will either buy into, or potentially bounce off if you can’t suspend disbelief for a little while. Luckily I took the former route and enjoyed the (cruise) ride.
