I Did Warn Her

By Sian Gilbert

Book Overview

"I DID WARN HER is Below Deck with a body count, and I loved every minute of it. Intricately plotted and devilishly dramatic, with a claustrophobic setting and a final twist to kill for, I DID WARN HER is everything I want in a thriller. I can't wait to see what Sian Gilbert does next " -- Sara Ochs, author of The Resort

A luxurious yacht, a gorgeous crew with secrets and rivalries...and murder I Did Warn Her is a cunning locked room mystery set on a billionaire's yacht, by the author of last year's sensation She Started It.

The Ophelia is your typical billionaire yacht: ridiculously luxurious, owned by a ruthless money man, and staffed by a crew whose only job is to indulge the guests' every wish.

Model-gorgeous Sasha is a last-minute hire for a weeklong Atlantic crossing. She joins fellow stewardesses Jade, Imogen, Euphemia, and Lola. The Ophelia's stewardesses are almost identical--blonde and model-gorgeous--and all were lured to the Ophelia by high wages and a chance to leave their problems behind when they set sail. But despite its sleek opulence, the Ophelia isn't as heavenly as it seems. A stewardess on the previous charter died under mysterious circumstances, the guests' expensive jewelry keeps disappearing, and the crew grows steadily more and more suspicious of one another.

Then the yacht's owner brings aboard his best friend and two more women, also beautiful. Also hiding something.

When a crew member turns up dead after a night of partying, everyone on the yacht is a suspect. Who is the jewel thief? Who is the murderer? What will happen when the lights go out, and the crew and the guests are finally on equal footing?

Endlessly twisty and delightfully voyeuristic, I Did Warn Her is a whodunnit on the high seas, where the dark secrets of the ultra-wealthy have nowhere to hide.

No one hears you scream in the middle of the ocean!

The luxurious trip of a lifetime! See the world and get paid for it by being a stewardess on a superyacht catering to the ultrawealthy. Unless when you get hired and see that all the stewardesses look identical (thin, blond and model worthy), each with secrets of their own and a penchant for sniping at each other just for the fun of it and then put them in the middle of the Atlantic where no help can be sent for and then bodies start showing up and you have a thrilling story that I enjoyed listening to! I myself would not ever want to go on a yacht, especially on one with jewelry and other objects going missing and especially not when people go missing or found dead! You get the views of the various stewardesses in this mystery to find out who and why before the next person ends up dead. Nicely twisty, especially when secrets are revealed and more than one person has skin in the end game and will do anything to keep others from reporting the crimes. Sure makes for a memorable trip though! The narrators did a great job in bringing the characters to life and giving them humanity even when they are cutting each other down or snooping around so it does feel sad when they may or may not end up dead. And good message that even the ultrawealthy can pay for their crimes, even in the middle of the ocean!
