Exactly what I want in a page-turning thriller, enjoyed the writing style and the first person narrative. I totally bought in and felt the stress of the protagonist as tensions rose. That being said, there are plot points that are unrealistically convenient,  I personally didn’t find them glaring however. Nice and tidy ending too which some people may not love but I was satisfied with.

Omg, the struggle for me to remember the characters for the first half or so of the book… they didn’t even have similar names it was mostly that there were a lot and they didn’t have roles so much as a few lines here and there throughout. I kept forgetting who was the photographer, who was the investor, and who was the owner of the boat! The flipping between using a character’s first name, then calling them by their last name later didn’t help (and wasn’t driven by familiarity etc., just seemed random flip flopping between how they are referred to). Eventually I caught on as certain characters had more of a role or interaction. I felt the book was interesting yet I was kind of looking forward to the audio book being done, which is why I rated it 3. It dragged on at parts (multiple escapes, confinement bits, tons of detail and repetition about what Lo is thinking). Narration by Imogen Church was well done.
