Critic reviews

‘A Sarah Goodwin novel never fails to impress, but THE YACHT is by far her best yet. Fast-paced and brilliantly written, it had a real Lord Of The Flies vibe, with each one of her well crafted, animalistic characters swiftly descending into chaos. Every page left me wanting more, every word crafted with harrowing brutality.’ – NICKY SHEARSBY, author of Black Widow

Loved the whole idea, found it a very original overseas novel. Listened to this in one day, and part evening. Was not feeling very well at the time. Escapism not only as part of the theme of this physiological thriller but also tied in very well with my wishes to distract myself from feeling so unwell! It was quite knowledgeable to learn what it would be like to be on an expensive yacht. This book was full of red herrings. Pardon the pun. I kept thinking I knew who was the real culprit. Though it was one of those books you just have to keep with, to find out if you're correct. Lots of twists and turns and rather sad at the end. A very well narrated listen and not too many characters to distract from the plot. Some very good morals incorporated! Would make for a very good disaster at sea film. Definitely will be listening to more from this author and hopefully the same narrator.

The descriptive way it was written, along with the crave for just one more chapter.

My first by this author. I loved it. The mystery and survival elements, along with Hannah's eventual character development and change, all worked. Excellent narration.

Great mystery

This was a really good book, with a lot of similarities to 'Adrift,' by M.A. Hunter. I like how the whole thing was entirely told through Hannah's eyes, and there were times she enfuriated me, along with some of the others. Unfortunately, (and this is just a problem on my part) I've read so many of these now I had the twists worked out long before we were told. Though that took away a little of the excitement for me, I still enjoyed the locked room, trapped and claustrophobic atmosphere, they are my favourite kinds of books. I'm fast coming to learn it's the person you'd least suspect that you should suspect. Really well narrated, too.

Very good read, but...
