Synopsis

In this murder mystery by the author of The Flight, a yacht crosses the North Atlantic while a perfect storm of suspicion and vengeance develops onboard . . .

Duchess is about to set sail from Scotland to St. Lucia. But before she even leaves port, an argument erupts. It's only the first in a series of unsettling events that will beset Helen, the skipper, her best friend, and the remaining crew.

During a port of call in the Canary Islands, tensions mount further when an unexpected guest joins the crew. Then, a near-fatal allergic reaction raises the pressure level—and finally, during a fierce storm, someone goes overboard . . .

Is this a run of bad luck or is one person at the heart of the turmoil and violence? And if so, can the culprit be identified before they reach the Caribbean?

My first Heather J. Fitt book, and I'm now happily anticipating the next one! This was brilliant- fast paced, gripping and very dramatic!

Goodreads review by Danielle on August 28, 2024

It wasn't action-packed and at times I felt it relied too much on boating jargon, but I kept finding myself looking forward to sitting down with it at night. It was a fairly relaxing beach read. I think the plot could use a little more work but the writing and dialogue was great. I'll definitely che......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on June 29, 2023

All aboard for a classy whodunnit! This was an extremely well plotted murder mystery with a bunch of fairly dubious but totally compelling characters who you are never quite sure which ones are telling the truth. The confined space of the Duchess lent itself brilliantly to adding to the tension and......more
