Amazon Editorial Review

Office worker by day, exotic dancer by night—a young woman is pulled into the mob underworld of corruption and violence

The first time Genevieve saw it, she knew it was the one: Revenge of the Tide, “an odd sort of a name for a boat.” Genevieve had finally escaped the stressful demands of her London sales job and achieved her dream—to leave the city behind and start a new life aboard a houseboat in Kent. She left the boat’s name as it was. Revenge had character, after all, and living in a marina made her feel a bit safer, a little less lonely, almost as if the boat looked after her, hid her away from view.

But her dreams are shattered the night of her boat-warming party when a body washes up, and to Genevieve’s horror, she recognizes the victim as a close friend from nights dancing onstage at a private members’ club, the Barclay. She doesn’t share this information with the police, though; next to no one knew what Genevieve did every Friday and Saturday night to save money for her escape, and she sees no reason to reveal her past.

Soon the lull of the waves against Revenge feels anything but soothing, as Genevieve begins to receive mysterious calls and can’t reach the one person who links the present danger with her history at the club. And then there is the parcel on her boat she’s meant to be safekeeping for an old flame, which seems to be putting her in jeopardy. As Genevieve begins to fear for her safety, she recalls the moment when it had all started to go horribly wrong: the night she recognized her daytime boss in the crowd of customers at the Barclay . . .

I read this a few years ago and enjoyed it.

Journal Entry 4 by wingPlum-crazywing at Brighouse, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Saturday, October 20, 2018
After having loved "Into the Darkest Corner" I had high expectations for this but sadly they weren't really met. The story revolves around Genevieve who has fulfilled her dream of buying a boat to do up & live on, a dream she has achieved by earning extra cash as a pole dancer However, when a body washes up next to her boat, she finds that she hasn't left her old life behind her after all...& that's pretty much all there is to it.

While the story kept me interested enough to keep reading I couldn't say I was ever gripped. If I'm honest the storyline was a bit lacklustre, nothing much happens really. There are no twists - unexpected or otherwise - & certainly none of the tension & impending doom I felt building so well in "Into the Darkest Corner".

A good enough read but disappointing as I expected/wanted to love it. I've nothing else to say other than I think I would have probably rated it higher if this had been the first of Ms Haynes' offerings that I'd read. I have a few others by this other on my shelf so I'll see how I fare with those......
