During the day Genevieve is a white collar worker in London.
In the evening she moonlights as a stripper in order to save enough money to
fulfill her lifelong dream of owning a houseboat. Not long after she realizes
that dream and departs London for good she finds the body of her friend
floating near her boat. Dark Tide alternates
between the present day and Genevieve’s life on the boat and the not so far off
past when she worked in a private men’s club. The answer to the mystery of the
floating body lies somewhere between the two.
While this was an entertaining book and the passages of
houseboat life were interesting and well written, there were way too many
stranger-in-a-dark-alley moments that the character entered into willingly, that should have ended badly but somehow didn’t that I just couldn’t buy into
it. This was another case of loving the author’s first book Into the Darkest Corner and wanting and
waiting for this one to measure up. It never did.
