- Reading
- If the murder imagery may be unsettling, read together at first and pause to check how the scenes feel; the plot outline does not indicate how graphic they are.
- Themes
- Accusation and investigation: Andy is arrested after his business partner disappears, and Nancy investigates the company and the case. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Business dealings: Nancy’s investigation finds that the boat-designing company has a strange and unsavoury personal and financial side. The company’s dealings are presented as part of the mystery; their particulars and the story’s judgement of them are unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Murder is central to the mystery. Nick’s boat is described as blood-stained and riddled with bullet holes, and Andy is arrested; the level of detail in the scenes is unclear.
