'A TRIP YOU WON'T FORGET' – CHRIS BRIDGES
'A DESTINATION THRILLER WITH SOMETHING TO SAY' – KINGSLEY PEARSON
'THE PERFECT READ' – RACHEL WOLF
FIVE-STAR SERVICE. FIRST-CLASS MURDER.
On a sun-soaked voyage around enchanting French Polynesia, three rising stars, their CEO and their partners are living the dream: cocktails, coral reefs, and the promise of reward after a year of hard work.
But as the tight quarters of their luxury superyacht close in, tensions emerge - not just between the guests, but the jaded crew serving them. Soon, secrets surface, marriages crack, and danger stalks guests below the deck. And when a passenger is found dead, it's clear the glossy facade has shattered forever.
Because here on the high seas, everyone's hiding something - and no one can escape what they've done . . .
Below Deck is the pulse-pounding destination thriller from Nikki Allen, perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Lucy Clarke.

"A voyage into paradise with a stormy and violent conclusion. A tense, atmospheric thriller packed with dark secrets, simmering desires and bitter grudges. Allen effortlessly blends her exotic setting and twisty storytelling with complex characterisation and pressing social issues. I couldn't put it down!"
T.J. Emerson, bestselling author of The Last Mrs Sinclair
"A real slice of escapist reading. I really enjoyed the vicarious sail (I will NEVER go on a cruise in case of bad weather!) and all the subtle clues about who is after who. Nikki is so good at making every tiny detail authentic, so you can vividly imagine the setting and the cast of characters. It's an effortless read in the best possible way, and a great summer pick"
