All aboard for one killer voyage.

On a sun-soaked voyage around enchanting French Polynesia, three rising stars, their CEO and their partners are living the cocktails, coral reefs, and the promise of reward after a year of hard work.

But as the tight quarters of their luxury superyacht close in, tensions emerge - not just between the guests, but the jaded crew serving them. Soon, secrets surface, marriages crack, and danger stalks guests below the deck. And when a passenger is found dead, it's clear the glossy facade has shattered forever.

Because here on the high seas, everyone’s hiding something - and no one can escape what they've done . . .

Below Deck is the pulse-pounding destination thriller from Nikki Allen, perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Lucy Clarke.
