The book did not let me down! The prologue caught my attention as you immediately want to know how Helen ended up where she is. In the initial chapters we are introduced to the boat crew and given some background and then, starting off relatively small and growing in seriousness, the chaos that was Duchess’ Atlantic crossing unfolds.

There’s suspense, mystery and some really unexpected twists in the book. My suspicions were correct in one regard, but the epilogue had a surprising twist and I like how not all of the loose ends are tied up and you’re still left guessing.
