THE SPINE-TINGLING AND GRIPPING THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF
SUNDAY TIMES CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH, BREATHLESS

With her life back in London falling apart, Olivia cannot believe her luck when she's invited on a once-in-a-lifetime Antarctic cruise with her boyfriend, Aaron.
Olivia has never been anywhere so spectacular: huge cliffs of ice loom high on the horizon, penguins dive through the sparkling sea, and above it all, the sun never sets in the eerie twilight sky.
Then Aaron disappears. And a body is discovered on board.
Surrounded by strangers, Olivia has no idea who she can trust.
If she can't figure it out soon, she might not make it back alive . . .

The story had more twists and turns than a twisty tourney thing, but was pretty good and kept me engaged. but I wish I'd read it rather than listened, because some of the characterisations made my teeth itch! A character supposedly from Toronto sou fed like Cindi Lauper, and I'm not a fan of the brash deep American accents given to a couple of the characters either. a bit too clichéd. I would have preferred a bit more subtlety

Good story but OTT narration

A really great listen. A thriller in the proper sense of the word. Very good storytelling with thrill after thrill. The narration was excellent, the gentle Scottish accent a pleasure to listen to. Highly recommended.

Gripping

I typically listen to 2 books a week and rarely bail but having slogged through 9 hours of this boring torpor I threw the towel in. Rarely has an author managed to combine a set of annoying but dull characters who literally do nothing until we reach the most preposterous clichéd plot lines which completely stretched credulity. Totally my fault for enduring 9 hours of mental torture but I would urge you to avoid my fate

Sooo TEDIOUS
