Initially I gave this a 5* but after digesting it for a while I'm dropping to 4.l due to predictabl  outcomes at the end of the book.

The descriptions of living full time on a boat, having the freedom to go wherever the tides took you is very alluring. However you'd better be mechanical minded and self sufficient along with your sense of adventure.

Since this *is* a thriller, you know theres gonna be a bad person w/a secret to hide. I wasn't surprised with the reveal and had anticipated it from the beginning. 

I did enjoy the story telling of the author and the pace of this story was very fast.

Overall a very enjoyable read.
