Lying in the Deep
by Diana Urban
What is it about:
A juicy mystery of jealousy, love, and betrayal set on a Semester at Sea-inspired cruise ship, with a diverse cast of delightfully suspicious characters who’ll leave you guessing with every jaw-dropping twist.
After being jilted by her ex-boyfriend and best friend, Jade couldn't be more ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime—11 countries in 4 months, all from the luxurious Campus on Board ship—and to wedge an entire globe between her and the people who broke her heart.
But when Jade discovers the backstabbing couple are also setting sail, her obsession with them grows and festers, leading to a shocking murder. And as their friends begin to drop like flies, Jade and her new crush must race to clear her name and find the killer they’re trapped at sea with….before anyone else winds up in body bags.
What did I think of it:
This is a nice enough read, with some things that bugged me.
Minor: The use of the word stew for steward...
Is this really a thing? Why would you use stew? They're stewards, not some hearty meal!
The big thing that bugged me: How the people in charge acted. There's been a death and they want to keep it quiet at first. So what do they do: they just let the two students who know about it wander the ship instead of keeping them separate from the other students...
There were more things that didn't make sense or bugged me, but not enough to stop reading, In the end this was an entertaining, but forgettable read.
Why should you read it:
It's an entertaining YA read
