Book Review: Lying in the Deep
A juicy mystery of jealousy, love, and betrayal set on a Semester at Sea-inspired cruise ship, with a diverse cast of delightfully suspicious characters who’ll leave you guessing with every jaw-dropping twist.
After being jilted by her ex-boyfriend and best friend, Jade couldn't be more ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime—11 countries in 4 months, all from the luxurious Campus on Board ship—and to wedge an entire globe between her and the people who broke her heart.
But when Jade discovers the backstabbing couple are also setting sail, her obsession with them grows and festers, leading to a shocking murder. And as their friends begin to drop like flies, Jade and her new crush must race to clear her name and find the killer they’re trapped at sea with….before anyone else winds up in body bags.
My Review
Jade definitely got more than she bargained for when she boarded the cruise ship for Campus on Board. It is not the peaceful cruise she thought that it would be when she finds out her exs...boyfriend and friend are on the same ship.
Where the group of characters are concerned, I did not get closer to anyone. The sisters had some sibling issues to deal with, Marcus is that person that you "pretend" to be nice to as he is always hanging around. Felix the love interest and the exs. How mean Lainey was towards Jade, I did not feel bad about all the close calls she had almost being taken out.
I did figure out the storyline before the ending but I still wanted to see if I was right. The last third of the story is where the murder mystery happened. From there, it moved fast to the conclusion. Another good read from author, Diana Urban. Lying in the Deep is a book you do want to pack in your bag for summer reading!
