Description: In this tightly wound story, Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. At first, Lo’s stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. The problem? All passengers remain accounted for—and so, the ship sails on as if nothing has happened, despite Lo’s desperate attempts to convey that something (or someone) has gone terribly, terribly wrong… (via Goodreads)
Thoughts: I thought it was a good read. It wasn't Girl on the Train or Gone Girl by any means, but it was still tense enough to keep me reading at a fairly fast pace. There wasn't exactly anything literary about the book, but it had a good pace to the book and things seemed to move nicely along.
Bottom line: A decent book and something that could be read quickly for most readers. Recommended.
Rating: 3/5

I felt about the same about that book. It was kind of flippy floppy for me. I have a book giveaway going on if you would like to check it out! Starting to read more again and post more. Was out of the loop for awhile there. :)
