Publisher's summary

As Peter Carlyle waves his wife, children and brother-in-law off on a sailing holiday, all they have in mind is lying back and relaxing. But as a violent storm breaks out, an explosion causes the boat to vanish without a trace, and the family are lost, presumed dead.

Until now. When a message in a bottle is washed up on a shore, it becomes apparent that there must have been at least one survivor.

Peter is a broken man. He appears to struggle to contain his grief as he holds a heartfelt TV interview about his loss. But all is not as it seems. Beneath the grief lies a more sinister side; Peter is involved with a beautiful - and dangerous - younger woman, and it soon transpires that he knows more about his family's disappearance than he is letting on.

He seeks to find whatever remains of his family, but is he really looking for a happy reunion? And could it be that it isn't just Peter who is hot on the Dunne family's trail? The race is on to rescue any survivors and discover what happened aboard the luxury yacht.

Very bad

I have liked some James Patterson books before but absolutely not this one. Very much suspense but almost too much, feels like he's overdoing it.

I really started to hate the characters you are supposed to like and also like the ones you're supposed to dislike. I fast-forwarded the last hour but I wish I would have stopped when there was like 30 minutes left.

Don't Bother

I have read other James Patterson books but this is nothing like them. The plot is implausable and the prose is stilted. The characters are also unbelievable. I am continually disapointed with good authors who lend their names to aspiring authors who need to first write material of quality that will stand on it's own without being propped. Don''t bother reading this because you will surely be disapointed.
