About this audiobook

Mae Barlowe’s annual beach trip is anything but a vacation. It’s the anniversary of the worst day of her life. When her husband and best friend surprise her with a last-minute itinerary change in the form of a couples’ cruise, she struggles to hide her reservations about the new plan. A week spent cruising around in a tropical paradise sounds like a dream come true to everyone else, but for Mae, it’s an eerie reminder of chilling memories from her past. Once on board the ship, a mysterious stranger causes confusion among the group, leading them to ask unsettling questions of one another. Before they can get real answers, tragedy strikes. Trapped on the vessel as it ventures toward their first destination, the friends struggle to come to grips with their new reality. How do they stay safe when danger seems to be lurking around every corner? Who can be trusted when nothing is quite what it seems? How far will they go to protect the ones they love? Sun, sand, and secrets await on this cruise to die for.

Ratings and reviews

I really loved the premise of this story—two couples go on a cruise & one woman goes missing. The first part of the story sets the scene of life on the cruise ship. As well as the two couple, the crew is introduced. It took me a bit to keep all the characters straight. Secrets come out slowly, as do the history of the characters. There was a huge build up of tension that, for me, didn’t quite match the final outcome. I found the majority of the story entertaining & binge-listened to it.
