Five Nights

Fabulous setting and hook: think the cast of Succession, on a cruise ship, solving a murder mystery.

Rachel Wolf grew up in the North of England and studied at Durham University. Before turning to writing, she worked for a holiday company and travelled widely. Five Nights takes inspiration from some of those travels.

'Totally gripping... Succession on the high seas! A sympathetic protagonist in Emily, fabulously toxic characters in the repellant Scarmado family, a tense, claustrophobic setting and a sense of mystery from the start all add up to a compelling locked room thriller that has confirmed my view that I will never, ever go on a cruise.'
Glamorous and atmospheric with a cast of brilliantly untrustworthy characters, a true page-turner you'll find hard to put down.
Deadly glamour on the high seas and lashings of schadenfreude in this addictive, claustrophobic thriller.
'Glamour, tension and twists galore! A thrilling read that will whisk you away into treacherous waters!'
Secrets and lies of the rich and privileged - this book is twisty, it's devious, it's fun. Five Nights is escapism at its best.
I was gripped from start to finish, so much so I missed an afternoon's work because I HAD to find out how it ended. A complex, fast-paced locked room thriller sprinkled with all the glamour and mystery of the super rich.
Such a cleverly constructed tale about the secrets families and friends keep. I tore through it in two sittings. A luxurious locked room lesson in how to write about people's darkest desires.
A superbly crafted mystery... beautifully charts a course between classic whodunnit and white-knuckle thriller.
Layered full of suspense and intrigue, with a cast straight out of Succession.
The perfect mix of glamour, intrigue, danger and excitement... Tons of twists and turns kept me guessing until the final pages, which I did NOT see coming!
A perfect holiday read but with teeth! Incisive, thrilling and crammed full of deliciously toxic family nastiness.
Agatha Christie meets Succession!... Just like the passengers, you'll be all adrift, not knowing who to believe. A compulsive drama.
Succession meets Below Deck in this fabulous tale of greed, lies and betrayal. Highly recommended.
I adored this Succession-style thriller . . . Told with haunting flashbacks and a fascinating cast of characters orbiting a charismatic and mysterious patriarch . . . Beautifully written and utterly gripping.
High glamour, grit and suspense - a perfect locked room mystery with an enviable setting.
Oh my god Five Nights by Rachel Wolf is wild! Gulped down the gripping twists & turns of this murderous Succession at sea thriller like fine champagne. Loved it - get it on pre order for next year's holiday read.
