Silas is Jade’s ex, and is arm in arm with Lainey as they board the Sea Voyager. She could get whatever the hell she wanted, even if she didn’t already have it all.Īpparently, that included the love of my life. Forget the money–Lainey could steal your heart just by breathing, charm you with a glance, convince you of anything. She was stunning, because of course she was, with her silky platinum hair, eyes blue as the winter sky, rosy high cheekbones, and rosier full lips. a magnet for attention and an easy flirt, the way she’d flash her radiant smile and make you feel like the sun was shining at night. One of these people is her former roommate Lainey Silverton, the beautiful daughter of a pharmaceutical tycoon: So imagine her shock when she sees both of them getting ready to board along with her. Having grown up poor, she’s pinched her pennies for this experience, and is looking forward to putting a lot of distance between herself and the people who betrayed her. Our narrator Jade Miller figures that the best way to nurse her broken heart is to go full steam ahead with her plans to spend a college semester at sea, far away from where she’s enrolled at Stanford University.

It’s smart, sure, but without going into spoilers, I can safely say that I really disliked the central relationships. Let’s be honest: Death On The Nile is one of Dame Christie’s most famous books, but is one of my least favorite of her canon. This is the modern feminist retelling of Agatha Christie’s Death On The Nile that I never even knew I needed till after I read every terrific page!
