Publisher Description
The escapist crime thriller for fans of Below Deck, Lucy Clarke and T.M. Logan
WHEN THERE'S BLOOD IN THE WATER, A FEEDING FRENZY IS SURE TO FOLLOW . . .
The Ophelia is your typical superyacht: luxurious, owned by a ruthless billionaire and staffed by crew who have just one job: keep the guests happy, whatever it takes. Sasha is the latest hire on a week-long Atlantic crossing, and she fits right in. In fact, she could be mistaken for any of the stewardesses: tall, blonde and model gorgeous.
But despite its sleek opulence, the Ophelia isn’t as heavenly as it seems. And when one of the stewardesses is found dead after a night of partying, all eyes turn to Sasha. But she’s not the only one with something to hide and below deck, nothing stays hidden for long.
Endlessly twisty and delightfully voyeuristic, I Did Warn Her is a whodunnit on the high seas, where the dark secrets of the ultra-wealthy have nowhere to hide.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A superyacht becomes a crime scene in this diverting thriller from Gilbert (She Started It). Former nurse Sasha has taken a new job on Ophelia, a massive ship chartered for a journey from Gibraltar to New York City by wealthy friends Benjamin Edmonson and Digby Johnson. After the crew is assembled, Sasha—who's withholding the reason she changed careers—notices that the yacht's four other stewardesses look almost exactly like her: "Put us in a lineup and turn us around, and I'm not sure our own mothers could tell us apart." Then Sasha learns that one of her predecessors vanished a year prior, and that the girl's best friend suspected foul play. Gilbert alternates perspectives among Sasha; her supervisor, Jade; and her lookalikes, gradually sowing doubt about the purpose of the journey. Meanwhile, an eerie prologue featuring a female corpse floating in the water hangs over the action, suggesting that someone on the ship is a killer. Gilbert has the mechanics of the locked-room mystery down, and orchestrates the story's familiar parts into a satisfying symphony of tension. It's tough to put down.
