About Dead in the Water (Standalone Psychological Thrillers)

The worst things happen at sea… Eva thought she'd found the perfect escape – two weeks in Cyprus with nothing but sun and cocktails. When she meets Javier, a charming stranger with a stunning yacht, a romantic morning cruise seems like an ideal addition to her holiday. But once they're out at sea, small inconsistencies in his stories begin to surface. The boat that promised freedom becomes something else entirely, and the man she trusted may not be who he claims to be. As the coastline disappears and they sail deeper into open water, Eva begins to suspect she's made a terrible mistake. Trapped on the endless ocean with nowhere to run, Eva must rely on her wits to survive. But when the person you trusted becomes your greatest threat, how do you stay alive? A heart-stopping psychological thriller about deception, survival, and the deadly secrets hidden beneath a charming smile. ————— "A masterclass in domestic suspense.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "AJ Carter crafts tension like a spider spinning its web – slowly, deliberately, until you're completely ensnared." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A chilling exploration of family dynamics that will have you checking the locks twice." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Just when you think you know where it's going, AJ Carter pulls the rug out from under you.
