The offing / Roz Nay.

Nay, Roz, (author.).

Summary:

"Two young women are trapped in a deadly chase through the beautiful, dangerous waters around Australia in the new thriller from the bestselling author of Our Little Secret--perfect for fans of The Woman in Cabin 10 and The Drowning Woman. Ivy is in trouble. A break-up has gone very badly and now she's lost her university scholarship too. So when her best friend, Regan, offers her a month-long escape in the form of a trip to Australia, it feels like a lifeline, one that Ivy grabs with both hands. Regan is everything Ivy's not--confident, free-spirited, charismatic. After some backpacker adventures, Ivy is drawn to a calmer type of holiday when she spots an ad for crewmembers on a small yacht being sailed by Christopher Farris and his young daughter, Lila. Christopher is clearly a doting dad, safety-conscious, and respectful. The girls decide to take the job. Then they discover there'll be a third crewmember, a young guy, Desh, with a hard-to-place accent, a cheeky swagger, and startlingly good looks. As the boat sails North into the tropical heat, the close quarters and some strange behaviour on the part of both men cause tensions to rise. The sudden appearance of another yacht which seems to be trailing theirs, despite its owner's denial, adds to the girls' growing sense of danger. And there are the secrets that Ivy and Regan are keeping from each other--until an explosive night of heavy drinking changes everything. Interspersed with transcripts from the police investigation that follows gruesome discoveries both on land and at sea, this fast-paced, twisty thriller keeps you guessing until the very last page."-- Provided by publisher.
