A YouTubing cruiser couple sails the world living their best lifeuntil one of them goes missing and their whole world capsizes, in this captivating psychological thriller perfect for fans of Something in the Water and Saint X. Sawyer Stone III and Dani Fox, a young couple who spends their time circumnavigating the globe aboard their 42' sailboat and documenting it for their fledgling YouTube channel Sailing with the Foxes, have anchored in Exuma, in the Bahamas. As they wait for the price of crypto to rebound so they can provision and continue their journey, theyre partying and exploring with their fellow cruisers off shore. On the surface, everything looks perfect. But one night, Dani vanishes after a boat party, and Sawyer has no memory of her disappearance. The search for Dani is initially fueled by concerns that she drowned during one of her daily ocean swims, but Dani's pre-scheduled video posts, recorded before she went missing, soon reveal a darker side to her relationship with Sawyer. Meanwhile, Royal Bahamas Police Force Inspector Veronique Knowles has her hands full trying to keep the investigation on course as the story of the American woman missing in the Bahamas goes viral and the internet sleuths unearth secrets from Sawyers past. Sawyer Stone is far from perfect, but is he a murderer? This twisty, edge-of-your-seat thriller will keep readers gripped all the way through the final satisfying turn.

4.25⭐
⬗suspense thriller
⬗light mystery
⬗unlikeable characters
⬗heavy social media vibes
⬗the evidence points to the boyfriend…but that would be too easy
⬗multiple POVs including the cop investigating who was the only likable character
⬗addictive narrative
⬗WTF was that ending, though???
⬗The narration is where this book truly shines. All the narrators were fantastically cast and delivered stellar performances.

What a fun summer thriller! This debut novel, set against the beauty of the Bahamas, is a fast and fun read. Sawyer and Dani, thanks to some money troubles, have stalled in their attempt at circumnavigation and are hanging out with fellow cruisers in beautiful Exuma. But the island police are hardly prepared when Dani goes missing. Multiple perspectives keep the pace moving quickly—& while the main twist may be easy to see coming, it‘s a fun ride!
