With a history of erratic sleeping behavior, Tess Durrum is traveling down a slippery slope when her "night episodes" return with a vengeance. Finding solace in the counsel of her husband, board certified psychiatrist, Christopher, she leans on her long-time love for his guidance, strength, and watchful eye. As their community lives in the wake of a string of brutal murders, the couple becomes a fixation for FBI Agent John Colton. The only constant amidst all the chaos is Vidalia, the vessel that will either give her sanctuary or have her sinking with the ship.

I do enjoy a novel of good psychological suspense. This short novel fit the bill. Tess Durrum has sleeping problems and disturbing dreams which affect her daily life. Her husband is a psychiatrist who tries to help her through these episodes. Their community is also dealing with a string of murders. As the FBI agent becomes involved you begin to wonder who you can trust. Can their ship Vidalia be her safe haven or is it something more sinister? I enjoyed this novel and the twist at the end. Thank you to Goodreads Giveaway and the author for my copy of this book.
