Book Review and Giveaway: Dark Tide by Elizabeth Haynes

Disclosure / Disclaimer: I received this book, free of charge, from Harper Collins, for review purposes on this blog. No other compensation, monetary or in kind, has been received or implied for this post. Nor was I told how to post about it

Synopsis: Elizabeth Haynes, author of the bestselling debut Into the Darkest Corner, returns with a tense, gripping thriller about a woman caught in an underworld of corruption and murder...

Genevieve has finally achieved her dream: to leave the stress of London behind and start a new life aboard a houseboat in Kent. She’s found the perfect vessel: Revenge of the Tide. She already feels less lonely; as if the boat is looking after her.

But the night of her boat-warming party, a body washes up, and to Genevieve’s horror, she recognizes the victim. She isn’t about to tell the police, though; hardly anyone knows about her past as a dancer at a private members’ club, The Barclay. The death can’t have anything to do with her. Or so she thinks...

Soon, the lull of the waves against Revenge feels anything but soothing, as Genevieve begins to receive strange calls and can’t reach the one person who links the present danger with her history at the club. Fearing for her safety, Genevieve recalls the moment when it all started to go wrong: the night she saw her daytime boss in the crowd at The Barclay...

Review: Known as Revenge of the Title, in the British territories, this is definitely a very British mystery that will grab you and keep you reading til the wee hours of the morning! I have to confess I find sometimes find British mysteries to just be more intellectually challenging, but in a good way, which probably comes from reading too much Agatha Christie at an early age!In fact, this book reminds me of her plot twists, which seem so straight forward and then BAM, suddenly there is something else, and the reader is given an 'oh duh' moment.

This is the perfect book to review for Earth day, as the focus of the main character is her saving to buy an old houseboat to restore. Within the story she hunts for parts to recycle, and haunts salvage places versus buying new from the start. The story echoes this with Genevieve trying to restore her life as she knew it before she started at The Barclay. you will be rooting both for Genevieve to find yourself, the path to her future and for the boat to be finished! make sure you pick this one up, it's a perfect Summer read!
