PROMPT: SHIPS OR SAILING

A voyage of a life time for Lily?  Did it turn out that way?

DANGEROUS CROSSING had me hooked from the opening sentence.  Knowing something was going to happen on the ship that had someone arrested when they docked, kept the mystery and intrigue high as you waited for the event to happen.

It‘s a good one!!

This book had such a great premise and setting, but in the end it didn't really work for me. I had trouble connecting with the MC, Lily, who really blew hot and cold, I thought. A lot of the character development felt uneven to me. The opening chapter has a woman being arrested for murder, then we go back in time to the beginning of the voyage. I kept waiting for something to happen (or for someone to get knocked off!) but nothing really did, ⬇️

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

Today‘s Prompt: SHIP

DANGEROUS CROSSING had me hooked from the opening sentence. Knowing something was going to happen on the “ship” that had someone arrested when they docked, kept the mystery and intrigue high.

DANGEROUS CROSSING was a study of people, their secrets, their lives, and their observations.

Strong ending, but such a long, slow time to get there! I thought this was going to be more suspenseful than it was, and feel a bit misled from the synopsis. While the ending was very strong, the book definitely took its time to get there! I voluntarily reviewed an eARC copy provided by the publisher.

If you haven't read this book, you are missing out.

I just received this delightful piece of #bookmail . A historical thriller? Yes, please! But @atriabooks screwed up my picture with that big orange sticker (you should have stuck it on the back!) #books #newrelease #thriller #historicalfiction #DangerousCrossing #RachelRhys

TODAY'S PHOTO: CURRENT READ

This book grabbed me as soon as I read the first sentence. The cover helped too. :) LOVING IT.

DANGEROUS CROSSING by Rachel Rhys.

I was so bored at about 35% into this that I skipped to the last three chapters. I disliked that it was written in present tense. I didn't realize until the end that it's based on a true story, which makes it more interesting, but I don't think this novel does that story justice.

I made my decision. Going purely on the cover I'm sure I'm going to love it 🤓💞

Spotted in the supermarket yesterday: they've changed the cover for the paperback. I miss the ocean liner.

I bought this one mostly because of the cover. I love the mix of image font...and it's set on an ocean liner. 🚢📚

Saturday night book: Rachel Rhys's A Dangerous Crossing. The blurb I have says it's a cross between Christie and Highsmith, which is an exciting idea.
