Book Description

Publication Date: 15 Mar 2012
Elizabeth Haynes second novel is a taut and gripping murder mystery introducing a compelling new heroine, Genevieve office worker by day and pole dancer by night who finds herself implicated in a mob underworld of murder, corruption and betrayal.
Genevieve has finally escaped the stressful demands of her sales job and achieved her dream: to leave London behind and start a new life aboard a houseboat in Kent. But on the night of her boat-warming party the dream is shattered when a body washes up beside the boat, and Genevieve recognises the victim.
As the sanctuary of the boatyard is threatened, and Genevieve s life seems increasingly at risk, the story of how she came to be so out of her depth is unfolded, and Genevieve finds out the real cost of mixing business with pleasure..

Review

Haynes' first novel, Into the Darkest Corner...was an internet sensation last year and this is just as impressive and in much the same mould.

Haynes, does a great job in ratcheting up the suspense...and there are many lip-biting moments. --Daily Mail, March 15, 2012

This racy jeopardy thriller, making good use of several interesting settings, proves that Haynes' much-praised first novel was no fluke. --Morning Star, February 22, 2012

The style is easy to read with flashbacks leading into the present...The plot is excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed this excellent read. Plenty for reading groups to discuss. --New Books: the magazine for readers and reading groups

I finished it in the small hours of the following morning...this is the difficult-to-put-down second book. And if you haven't read Into The Darkest Corner then you really should. --The Bookbag

Packed with unexpected twists and turns the plot moves seamlessly from the past to the present...[and] surges towards its thrilling conclusion.

'Haynes' first novel, Into the Darkest Corner...was an internet sensation last year and this is just as impressive and in much the same mould. Haynes, does a great job in ratcheting up the suspense...and there are many lip-biting moments.' --DAILY MAIL, MARCH 2012

'Haynes has created a captivating heroine in Genevieve. For all her post-sexual-revolution behaviour, she comes over as a good old-fashioned tomboy. She is practical and pragmatic, with enviable physical skills, touchingly naive, and enhanced by an uncomplicated tender heart beating beneath her tough guy image. As Haynes herself is a police intelligence analyst she is well placed to add authenticity to her skills of storytelling. Unputdownable, this thriller with a heart of gold reads like a breath of fresh air.' --RED MAGAZINE

'This racy jeopardy thriller, making good use of several interesting settings, proves that Haynes' much-praised first novel was no fluke.' --MORNING STAR

'Do you know that feeling of dread when you pick up the second book of an author whose first book pulled you in and wouldn't let you go?...It's not long before you discover that this is the difficult-to-put-down second book...
I finished it in the small hours of the following morning. And if you haven't read Into The Darkest Corner then you really should.' --THE BOOKBAG

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing 7 May 2012
By littlepig littlepig
Format:Paperback
I couldn't stop raving about Into The Darkest Corner, but feel very disappointed and let down by Revenge of the Tide. It doesn't have the same menace and tension as Haynes's debut and the heroine is two-dimensional (every man who meets her falls in love with her) and weak (she tries to find out what's going on, a man starts kissing her to distract her, and she promptly has sex with him again). It was a typical dodgy-gangster story without anything really going on and I put it down feeling relieved I'd finished it rather than hyperventilating as I did at the end of Darkest Corner!

I would certainly read the next book by Haynes because she is a good writer, but I do hope that the next offering is an improvement on this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing second novel 20 Mar 2012
By ronx59
Format:Paperback
Like many other readers I was absolutely gripped by 'Into the Darkest Corner', I had this on pre order as soon as I could and was really looking forward to reading it. I think it must be a very difficult thing to follow on from a spectacular debut novel and I was prepared to forgive 'Revenge of the Tide' quite a lot. However the most disappointing features of this novel were, surprisingly, the very things which were the strongest part of 'Into the Darkest Corner'. There you had a vulnerable and defeated heroine fighting back to strength from an almost impossible position. Here you had a confused and manipulative woman who fantasised about a big strong man saving her every time she found herself in a tight corner. And they did. In the earlier book the plot was both unusual and utterly convincing, this just felt contrived and, ultimately, a bit of a 'so what'? I am willing to believe Elizabeth Haynes next novel will be a tighter and better narrative as I'm sure a writer of her promise and calibre will be able to return to form, especially once the pressure of that difficult second novel is out of the way. This is still worth a read, if you are not making comparisons to her superb debut you wont be as disappointed as I was, maybe read this one first and THEN treat yourself to the delights of 'Into the Darkest Corner.'

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing. 2 Jun 2012
By Stacey
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I enjoyed Elizabeth Haynes' first novel. It was clever and well written. This, however is far from that. I found the plot weak, the writing poor and the heroine uninspiring. I felt that, whatever else, Elizabeth Haynes would write complicated and strong female characters. However this heroine was one dimensional and, dare I say, boring. I will however read the next novel. Someone that is capable of writing her first book is much better than this. I wonder if she was rushed to produce something quickly to follow her success quickly. Read her first, I personally would not recommend this.
