I could not put this book down, easily one of my favorites! From beginning to end I was enthralled, and the twists and turns near the end were great. I couldn’t predict how the book would end. Overall I really enjoyed it!

The first half was kind of boring and slow paced but the second half was eventful and and fast. Initially I find the characters not likeable and sometimes very irritating but soon it’s turns into interesting and eventful and the fact the whole story happens in a cruise is adding to the effect.

At first I didn't think I could get into this book. I found the main character, Lo, to be unlikeable and dramatic. However, after she witnessed the body being thrown overboard (this isn't a spoiler, it's written in the blurb), she develops into a strong-yet-fragile, unrelenting woman.
There were many twists in the plot line, and I never would've guessed the ending! I'm looking forward to reading more from Ruth Ware!
