I force myself to look at the face in the photo, into her slightly smudged features, and I can't bring myself to move. Olivia Shaw could be my mirror image, rewound to 13 years ago. I've spent a long time peering into the faces of girls on missing posters, wondering which one replaced me in that basement. But they were never quite the right age, with the right look, in the right circumstances. Until Olivia Shaw, missing for one week tomorrow.

A single mother turns up dead at the bottom of the river that runs through town. Earlier in the summer, a vulnerable teenage girl met the same fate. They are not the first women lost to these dark waters, but their deaths disturb the river and its history, dredging up secrets long submerged. Left behind is a lonely 15-year-old girl. Parentless and friendless, she now finds herself in the care of her mother's sister, a fearful stranger who has been dragged back to the place she deliberately ran from - a place to which she vowed she'd never return.

On a cool June morning, Isa Wilde, a resident of the seemingly idyllic coastal village of Salten, is walking her dog along a tidal estuary. Before she can stop him, Isa's dog charges into the water to retrieve what first appears to be a wayward stick - and to her horror, Isa discovers it's not a stick at all...but a human bone.

Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods, on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, with the woman sitting inside - the woman who was killed. She's been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It's a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm. Her husband would be furious if he knew she'd broken her promise not to take that shortcut home. And she probably would only have been hurt herself if she'd stopped.

From the best-selling author of Atonement, Nutshell is a classic story of murder and deceit, told by a narrator with a perspective and voice unlike any in recent literature. A bravura performance, it is the finest recent work from a true master. To be bound in a nutshell, see the world in two inches of ivory, in a grain of sand. Why not, when all of literature, all of art, of human endeavour is just a speck in the universe of possible things?

The Long Version, and the Short.

Publisher's Summary
They found paradise.... What would they do to keep it?
In the tradition of Alex Garland's The Beach, a spine-tingling adventure novel about a group of friends whose journey around the world on a yacht turns from a trip to paradise into a chilling nightmare when one of them disappears at sea. Lana and her best friend, Kitty, leave home looking for freedom - and that's exactly what they find when they are invited onto The Blue, a 50-foot yacht making its way from the Philippines to New Zealand. Manned by a young crew of wanderers, The Blue is exactly the escape they are looking for, and the two quickly fall under its spell, spending their days exploring remote islands and their rum-filled nights relaxing on deck beneath the stars. Yet paradise found can just as quickly become lost. Lana and Kitty begin to discover that they aren't the only ones with secrets they'd rather run from than reveal. And when one of their new friends disappears overboard after an argument with the other crew members, the dark secrets that brought each of them aboard start to unravel. Haunting and infused with spectacular detail, the latest novel by Lucy Clarke - whose writing has been hailed as "breathtaking" (Kirkus Reviews) and "exciting and mysterious" (Library Journal) - is a pause-resisting thriller filled with adventure, exotic locales, and high stakes.

Great 'Till the Last Page!
Where does The Blue rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Very very high! Scarlett Mack's voice washes over you as beautifully as the water that The Blue sail's across. The characters are tangible. The story is revealed through "THEN" and "NOW" sequences...and you don't have the "whole" picture until the very end!!
Who was the most memorable character of The Blue and why?
Oh if I told you that, it might give away something you shouldn't know until the very end!
Any additional comments?
I can ALMOST GUARANTEE that you will NOT guess the ending!! And that is why it was so much fun!!

Paradise lost
We all, I think, have dreamed of an escape to a magical world where the burdens and regrets of our lives can be left behind. Such is the case for these characters who find themselves aboard a sailboat in the South Pacific.
Lushly evocative of the place, we are drawn into their world, with all its beauty and wonder and freedom. But this is the world still inhabited by humans – with all their baggage and subject to all their frailties. And so the tensions build.
In a narrative which alternates between present and past, we know very well from the beginning that something has gone very wrong. What that is, how that has happened and why, are the substance of this novel. Very well done, building tension, questions and then more questions, as the story proceeds. There are no clear heroes, there are no clear villains. Just life and just like in real life. Well done narration. Recommended!

Couldn't put the second half down
This book was good but took me some time to really get into it. I couldn't stop listening once I had 3 hours left, I just wanted to know the outcome. The performance was good too and only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I thought it couldn't have been read a little faster.

Superb!
The narration of the book was fabulous -- a cast of players with several accents performed by one talented individual.
It was so engaging from beginning to end! I was looking for a great mystery and that's what I received! Enjoy!
