The White Lotus meets The Last Thing He Told Me in this domestic mystery about a luxury sailboat found floating adrift in the ocean and the secrets of the missing family who set sail aboard it weeks before...
"No One Aboard is a riveting, astonishing debut, and Emy McGuire is an important new voice in fiction. I will read anything she writes!"
-Sarah Pekkanen, #1 New York Times bestselling author
At the start of summer, billionaire couple Francis and Lila Cameron set off on their private luxury sailboat to celebrate the high school graduation of their two beloved children.

Set over the course of their vacation and in the aftermath of the sailboat's discovery, No One Aboard asks who is more dangerous to a family: a stormy ocean or each other?

"No One Aboard is a riveting, astonishing debut, and Emy McGuire is an important new voice in fiction. I will read anything she writes!"-Sarah Pekkanen, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Gnarly... McGuire's consistently riveting plot keeps the pages flying. Readers won't be able to rest until they discover what befell the Camerons."
-Publishers Weekly
"I inhaled this book! In Emy McGuire's tense and claustrophobic debut, everyone aboard the Cameron family's yacht has a secret-and no one is safe. No One Aboard is the kind of compulsively readable thriller that makes you lose sleep to finish 'just one more page.'"
-Emma C. Wells, USA TODAY bestselling author of This Girl's a Killer
"The killer premise is just the beginning in this twisty, claustrophobic, nautical thriller. Between the dangers of the open sea, the deliciously toxic family aboard their luxury yacht, and the mystery of how an entire family can disappear into thin air, McGuire's perfectly crafted tension will drive readers to turn pages into the wee hours-which is exactly what I did."
-Jenna Satterthwaite, author of Made for You and The New Year's Party
"Once I picked up No One Aboard, I could not put it down. This taut and haunting debut will leave you gasping for breath! Twists, family drama, and so much more than just rich people behaving badly. Emy McGuire will be a name to watch."
-Jennifer Moorhead, Amazon-bestselling author of Broken Bayou

-Seraphina Nova Glass, two-time Edgar-nominated author of On a Quiet Street
"No One Aboard is an impressive blend of suspense and psychological depth, immersing readers in the allure of the open sea while unraveling the dark secrets of a fractured family. Emy McGuire's riveting debut will leave an indelible mark, ask if the proverbial blood is thicker than water, and challenge us to confront the monsters we all hold within and the lengths we'll go to survive."
-Yasmin Angoe, bestselling author of Her Name is Knight and Not What She Seems
