Patricia MacDonald- "Cast Into Doubt"

The ship was attacked by sharks

    I hate cruises. There are too many people all trying to relax in the middle of the ocean where you can die by something eating you alive and I can never get that out of my mind. It's not fair for me to say all cruises are bad though, but the experience that I had was not fun. This book doesn't help matters either.

   In Cast Into Doubt, Shelby Sloan buys cruise tickets for her daughter and son in law thinking they will have fun relaxing times. Instead her daughter goes missing and the cruise line says she fell overboard due to her over drinking. Shelby is shocked that her daughter had a drinking problem and calls foul play. Thus starts her heartbreaking journey for the truth about what really happened that night on the cruise ship. Throughout the book Shelby learns disturbing secrets about her daughter and has to come to terms that her baby girl wasn't as happy as she thought. 

I wanna know what happens dammit!

   I loved this book. It was exciting and I found myself putting off functioning all day just so I could get to the end.The whole time I was rooting for the mother to not give up and find out the truth behind her daughter's death. I don't have much to complain about other than Patricia's repetitiveness in describing characters. It is almost like she forgot that she described the character in the first place. All in all I found this a thrilling page turner and has been put as exhibit C for my reasons to hate cruises. 4 out of 5 little drink umbrellas.
