Title: No One Aboard
Author: Emy McGuire
Genre: Thriller
Rating: 3 out of 5
At the start of summer, billionaire couple Francis and Lila Cameron set off on their private luxury sailboat to celebrate the high school graduation of their two beloved children.
Three weeks later, the Camerons have not been heard from, the captain hasn’t responded to radio calls, and the sailboat is found floating off the coast of Florida.
Empty.
Where are the Camerons? What happened on their trip? And what secrets does the beautiful boat hold?
I should not have finished reading this. Not because the writing was bad—it wasn’t. The writing was solid, with strong descriptions and a believable narrative, but the characters were terrible people. All of them, except maybe Jerry, the fisherman who finds the empty sailboat. The Camerons, all four of them, are all pretty terrible people, and the people they surround themselves with are no better. There’s no reliable narrator here, and no one to root for, so this just wasn’t a good fit for me.
Emy McGuire was raised in Colorado. No One Aboard is her newest novel.
