With this as a background, Clarke is able to draw a reader in, and then keep my interest with her tales of romance and suspense. Einerseits hat es mir gefallen, dass die Geschichte auf zwei Zeitsträngen ("heute" und "damals") erzählt wird, weil so eben vieles lange unklar bleibt, obwohl man weiß, dass etwas passiert ist. NO ESCAPE also stars Jay Ryan (“It Chapter Two”), Sean Keenan (“The Power of the Dog”), Colette Dalal Tchantcho (“Domina”), Elmo Anton Stratz (“Westwall”), and Narayan David Hecter (“Riviera”) as the crew onboard The Blue.

This novel is written in two threads – “Then” and “Now”, and each chapter is devoted to unfolding the events of the trip, told through Lana’s POV. The Blue will be co-produced for Paramount+ by VIS – the international studio division of Paramount – as part of the streamer’s wider strategy to greenlight 50 new international scripted series in 2022. The series will also debut exclusively on Paramount+ later this year in all international markets outside of the US where the service is available. No Escape also stars Jay Ryan, the New Zealand actor who played Jack Scully in Neighbours as teh yacht's skipper Aaron. I've found a new favorite author and as soon as I finished this one, I bought one of her other books, Swimming at Night.Even as you think you know what has happened, there are unexpected twists and revelations that have you guessing to the end. The stories are not officially connected, but might be considered a loose trilogy: they each have the tone of a thriller, but with softer edges; a big focus on secrets (usually someone lying about their past); a bit of a love story somewhere in the background; but most prominently and memorably, they demonstrate a romantic attachment to the idea of wanderlust and to an impossibly picturesque ideal of travelling, with colourful, richly described locations featuring just as significantly in the story as the characters. While the tension and suspense may have been lacking for much of the novel (about three-quarters of it), the last 100 apprehension and anxiety-filled pages mostly made up for the slow burn start. Die Autorin versucht die beiden Zeitstränge allmählich miteinander zu verbinden, so dass man als Leser*in schlussendlich erfährt, was sich genau auf der Blue zugetragen hat. Auch die Auflösung enthielt mindestens einen Aspekt, der mich gestört hat und der, meiner Meinung nach, auch gar nicht nötig gewesen wäre (die Freundschaft von Kitty und Lana betreffend).

Lucy's seventh novel, ONE OF THE GIRLS, is 'an electric, sun-soaked thriller', released in May 2022.After Lana and Kitty spend a night on the boat, the crew votes to bring them on board as crew members if they're interested. That is where I found my issue with it as, after reading the book flap, I assumed there were going to be secrets, lies, and twists galore. Die Story kriegt zwar dadurch etwas Spannung, aber hat bei mir meine Abneigung gegen die ohnehin schon unsympathischen Charaktere nur noch verstärkt.

It's so immersive along the way, that I found myself sympathizing with the characters to an extent that I have not experienced in any novel in recent memory.I'm a huge fan of television so I really have found the perfect job, as I've been writing about TV shows, films and interviewing major television, film and sports stars for over 25 years. The relationships and demeanor of the crew change from lighthearted and fun to one with a darker, more secretive and sinister undercurrent. The travel element is more about observing the beauty of 'exotic' places, appreciating nature and being free from the shackles of ordinary life - dull jobs and emotional baggage - than it is about immersing oneself in a different culture or actually understanding another country, making it a perfect fit for the 'beach read' genre because, despite the glamour of the characters' adventure, it's really about tourism, not engagement. Paramount+ is a global digital subscription video streaming service from Paramount that features a mountain of premium entertainment for audiences of all ages.
