About this ebook

Sarah Lotz's extraordinary, unmissable follow-up to the book that made headlines around the world, THE THREE - perfect for fans of The Shining Girls, The Passage and Lost.

Four days into a five day singles cruise on the Gulf of Mexico, the ageing ship Beautiful Dreamer stops dead in the water. With no electricity and no cellular signals, the passengers and crew have no way to call for help. But everyone is certain that rescue teams will come looking for them soon. All they have to do is wait.

That is, until the toilets stop working and the food begins to run out. When the body of a woman is discovered in her cabin the passengers start to panic. There's a murderer on board the Beautiful Dreamer... and maybe something worse.

I read and mostly enjoyed The Three, and was just interested enough by the concept of a sequel to want to read it but not enough to buy a hard copy. Pretty glad about that. This book is good, but disappointing. From a sequel, I was (maybe naively) expecting answers of a sort. In the first couple of chapters I was excited by little references to The Three and continued expecting more of a link to it than a few throwaway names as the book continued. Without spoilers, there wasn't much more than that. If you like esoteric-ish slightly aimless horror, you might enjoy this. If like me you were expecting some kind of satisfying conclusion to the characters in the previous book and some answers more specific than "God, maybe?" give it a miss. I think Sarah Lotz had good ideas but no way to pull them together to make a cohesive, fulfilling story. Unfortunately you just get a slightly disjointed, ultimately unsatisfying book about people making bad choices on cruise ships.
