Leaving the grey skies of home, best friends Kitty and Lana journey to the Philippines. There, they discover The Blue – a beautiful yacht with a wandering crew.

I wouldnt necessarily call this a Thriller. But its an excellent book, one that I didnt want to stop listening to... the book is read with enthusiasm emphasising the dialects and really keeping you engrossed.... the ending has a real twist in the tail, not one that I was expecting
It is in my opinion well worth the listen. I dont think you would get the same feeling if you read it yourself as you dont read in differing dialects
Yes I will be looming for another book from this author to listen to
