BEFORE YOU START
The premise
Lo Blacklock is assigned to the Aurora, a small luxury ship in the North Sea. After she witnesses a woman going overboard, no one aboard appears to be missing.
Why the setup appeals
- Her word against the ship
- The question is whose version to trust: Lo's or the ship's.
- A closed setting
- A small ship in the North Sea keeps passengers and crew close together.
IS IT YOUR NEXT READ?
A good match for your shelf?
Consider it if you want a mystery that starts with a single witness at sea.
Something to keep in mind
The setting is a ship at sea rather than a family home.
