No Escape: A gripping, escapist crime thriller, now a major TV series for Paramount+

Product Information

Jake Macapagal ( Metro Manila) is Captain Rhys from the local Filipino Police force, investigating the mysteries onboard The Blue. Bei mir war das leider gar nicht der Fall, denn selbst schwierige Erlebnisse in der Vergangenheit haben für mich in keinster Weise gerechtfertigt, dass die Crew den Tod eines Crewmitglieder vertuschen wollte. Wish I was on a Yacht…sailing off yonder to some undisclosed location…with the beating sun on my body, and the cold refreshing aqua water swirling at my feet.

The problem for me was that the story is told from Lana's point of view and I was clearly meant to share her joy and pain, not be sitting there wondering when she would grow up. After the expedition began, the yacht was constantly monitored, crewmembers participating in a 24 hour rotating watch.

NO ESCAPE stars BAFTA Scotland Award Winner Abigail Lawrie (“Tin Star”) and Rhianne Barreto (“The Outlaws”) as best friends Lana and Kitty, who are on the run from their lives in the UK.

On the release of the first look trailer today, the novel’s author Lucy Clarke said: “It’s been the most incredible experience to see my novel reimagined for the screen. Ich mag es, wenn eine Gruppe von unterschiedlichen Charakteren mit ihren ganz eigenen Geheimnissen auf engem Raum miteinander konfrontiert werden. Voting is heating up for the 19th annual Televisual Bulldog Awards that celebrate the very best of British television. Paramount+ is a global digital subscription video streaming service from Paramount that features a mountain of premium entertainment for audiences of all ages. Dieses Buch hat mich wirklich überrascht, eigentlich hat mir das Cover sogut gefallen und ich dachte, leichte Frauenlektüre für den Sommer mitzunehmen.Still, I'm sure it will make a good TV mini-series for Paramount+: beautiful locations, beautiful people, a little sex, a little violence, secrets and lies. Even if you won’t be experiencing a conventional vacation this summer, this book will offer a convenient and pleasurable mind escape, especially if you are already a fan of this genre.

Now that you’ve seen what a reviewer who thinks he does have those qualities would do, you might prefer to sail with a legalist like Lana. The Blue allowed crew members to escape the more unpleasant and mundane realities of life on land, in Lana's case she sought temporary escape from paternal betrayal. The tension builds slowly in this very atmospheric novel like a tropical storm getting ready to suddenly let loose. If you enjoy complicated group dynamics, exotic locales, and tons of buried secrets, I definitely recommend reading this book. Every time I was going to stop reading for the night something huge would happen and I would NEED to keep reading!She has a lust for life and wants to experience everything so she’s constantly pulling in the opposite direction to Lana.

This was a perfect read for the summer with all the descriptions of tropical paradises and life on the yacht. Abigail Lawrie as Lana, a British woman who leaves the country with her foster sister, Kitty and becomes a former crew member of The Blue. But on the other it’s a hard to classify novel that is neither thriller nor domestic suspense like I expected.I went about 30% without feeling very interested and it crossed my mind to abandon it for something more immersive. I wasn't in a good reading place when I started this, having just finished finals and battling a bad head cold. I thought it was a clever and plausible plot that got buried under Lana's overwrought angst and then suffered from being disclosed as a tell rather than a show. While the tension and suspense may have been lacking for much of the novel (about three-quarters of it), the last 100 apprehension and anxiety-filled pages mostly made up for the slow burn start.
