Dark Tide

Genevieve – office worker by day and pole dancer by night, finds herself implicated on a mob underworld of murder, corruption and betrayal. She has finally escaped the stressful demands of her sales job and achieved her dream: to leave London behind and start a new life aboard a houseboat in Kent.

But on the night of her boat-warming party the dream is shattered when a a body washes up beside the boat, and she recognises the victim. As the sanctuary of the boatyard is threatened, and her life is increasingly at risk, the story of how Genevieve came to be so out of her depth unfolds, and she learns the real cost of mixing business with pleasure.

 I was blown away by the author's debut, Into The Darkest Corner. I set my expectations very high and was not sure what to expect. After I realized this was a very different story, I settled into it and enjoyed it. It is sort of a love story disguised with bad guys.  I was waiting for something big to happen or a huge twist, and when it came, I almost missed it. Justine Eyre did a great job with the voices, tension as well as the change in tense. It took me a bit to figure out the "then" and "now" parts.
