Robbert Voges | 11 comments I'd like to venture into Yacht Thrillers...if there is even such a genre. Hope anyone has a good title for a late Spring read!

Philip (phenweb) | 218 comments Don't want to spam but my thriller has quite a bit of boat/yacht action as you would expect from the title

Ulf Buschmann Sebastian Fitzek: Passenger 23

I haven't read it yet but it's on my list. The author is very popular in Germany and this book got really good reviews.

SUSAN (starrmysteries) I enjoy these too so I will take a look at all of the titles mentioned. I have a soft spot in my heart for Mary Roberts Rinehart so often re-read her books, especially in the summer. One I love is The After House about a nightmarish voyage aboard a yacht:

The After House by Mary Roberts Rinehart

A really old book (1914) but one I still enjoy!

Tone  | 1823 comments I've just started to read Swan Song: An Odyssey by Lisa Alther and discovered that it's set on a cruise ship. It's not a thriller though.

Robbert Voges | 11 comments thank you! Is that the same Dead Calm which has been made into a film with Nicole Kidman and Sam Neil?
