What you need to know before your trail

Mia thinks she has escaped her controlling ex-husband, Rob. She’s found herself a new home, a new boyfriend and a new life.

But when the police arrive to tell her that Rob has been found dead on his boat, things quickly fall apart. Mia is terrified she’ll be suspected, however the police are keeping all options open. They know Mia had reason to hate her ex-husband, but she’s not the only one. Plenty of people wanted Rob Creavy dead, not least his new wife, Rachel.

What they don’t know is that Mia has a secret, one she’s desperate to protect.

But someone else knows. Someone with very dark secrets of their own . . .

Travel Guide

A novel of boats and boating journeys

This is not a novel for locations. It’s set firmly in the boating community though and tells of plenty of boat-faring journeys and experiences. If you like sailing and have been around the South of England, the Greek Islands and around the Med, then this book is going to make you smile.

It’s a novel where location might not be key, but the idea of someone being lost at sea, or shot in a boat is gripping. When you are at sea alone, anything can happen and no one can hear you scream.
