Susan: need some therapy now for Ruth Ware has now locked me inside a cabin deep in Kielder Forest with some nut job with an axe to grind and now trapped me on a cruise with a missing body and a sick murderer trying to stop me finding out what the hell is going on. The locked room mystery, the churning of the waters, the sense of isolation – out in the middle of the ocean no one can hear you scream and the unrelenting fear when floating paradise becomes a scene of a crime that no one else on board believes has taken place.Ī confined setting, the creaking groans of the boat, the sense of no one believing you and the fear that the killer is on the boat and that you’re next if you Keep on digging….A small group of passengers floating into the unknown – limits to the landscape and those on board made for a great deal of tension. This cruise is eerie and the tension builds with every ebb and flow of the rough North Sea. Lo is here on a press trip, she’s a travel writer, but chances are she’s not be giving this journey a five star review. The other passengers on the boat are distant and al seem to have their own reasons for being there. This journey is the most claustrophobic you will ever read. Travelling in a luxury boutique liner in the North Sea towards the Northern lights with a stop over in Trondheim sounds ideal……
