You better buckle up, because this audiobook is set to keep you on the edge of your seat for a solid 11 hours and 39 minutes. Trust me, you won't want to hit pause on this one.
Now, let's dive into the plot. We join Harry Clifton and his wife Emma as they rush to the hospital, anxiously awaiting news about their son Sebastian, who has been involved in a tragic car accident. The stakes are high - it's a matter of life and death. But here's the twist, folks: there's uncertainty surrounding who's really left us in that accident, Sebastian or his best friend Bruno. Talk about a gut-wrenching situation.
Meanwhile, trouble is brewing at the Barrington Shipping Company. Ross Buchanan, the chairman, is forced to resign and Emma Clifton sets her sights on taking his place. But there's a villain lurking in the shadows, folks. Don Pedro Martinez has other plans - he wants to install his puppet, Major Alex Fisher, to ruin the Barrington family firm. And just when everything seems to be falling into place, the company announces the construction of their luxurious new liner, the MV Buckingham. Can you smell the drama?
Back in jolly old London, Harry and Emma's adopted daughter has some big news. She's won a scholarship to the prestigious Slade Academy of Art and has fallen head over heels for a fellow student who pops the question. Cue the wedding bells, right? Not so fast. The future mother-in-law takes a sip from the poison chalice and stirs up some trouble. Nothing like a little family drama to spice things up!
But wait, there's more! Out of nowhere, a mysterious Yorkshireman by the name of Cedric Hardcastle emerges, taking a seat on the board of Barringtons. This unexpected turn of events throws everyone for a loop, and trust me, they were not prepared for what comes next. Hardcastle holds the power to decide the next chairman, and with that decision, the story takes yet another mind-bending twist that will leave you gasping for breath.
