Yet another amazing book by CRH. I love her books and I‘m now going to go get her other 2 that I still need to read. This book was a little predictable but it was still an amazing story! 😊🌟🌟🌟🌟

Adam‘s girlfriend leaves on a business trip and falls out of contact. Then Adam finds out she called in sick to work, deepening the mystery. I really enjoyed this CRH backlist title. She‘s so good at building a thriller. I guessed part of it, but there were definitely still some surprises at the end. Terrific author!

LeahBergen I like this author! I‘ve only read two of hers but want to read more. 2y

This was only my second book by this author but I am really liking her. I wouldn‘t read this if you ever want to go on a cruise. It took a little while for all the parts to come together but it was a good ride!

Loved this book. It was a very good mystery. Catherine Ryan Howard's debut novel is outstanding. I finished it in a day, just could not put it down. Highly recommend it to everyone who likes a good mystery.

A very good mystery, written with a pace that definitely keeps you reading. Whenever I'm in the middle of a book and never even turn on the TV at night, but just keep reading, I know I'm hooked. You may have to suspend belief just a touch at the very end, but a very fun read.

Loved it - a bit of a thriller about a man's girlfriend who does not come home from a business trip. I thought I had the ending figured out but is was a good twist!

Absolutely loved this debut thriller by Irish author Catherine Ryan Howard. Hooked me from the beginning and didn't let up. Thanks so much to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for my digital copy.

#SeasonsReadings #ChristmasChiller An exciting missing persons story with a dual storyline that will keep you turning the pages! Also, part is set in Cork!!

A character within the novel described the situation (a.k.a. the plot) as "Gone Girl on a boat." Which is somewhat accurate. The twists are comparable to Gone Girl, but Howard's writing isn't on Gillian Flynn's level.

Hailed as Gone Girl meets Girl on a Train...or as I think of it, Girl on a Cruise...this will keep you reading into the wee hours. When Adam's girlfriend, Sarah disappears after lying about a trip, he must unravel the mystery of what really happened. Great suspense, twists and turns! Highly recommended'

MrBook Nice boat 😎👌🏻. 8y
Books-In-Bloom YES! Reminds me slightly I'd Women in Cabin 10. :) 7y
Alfoster @BemusedBookworm Yes! Read them both just after we got off the ship in the pic. So glad I hadn't read them BEFORE the cruise😜! 7y
