Summary
Imagine finding out that your unborn child was a lie....
Alisha Barba's dreams of being a detective were shattered when a murder suspect broke her back across a brick wall. Now on her feet again, with her police career in limbo, she receives a message from an old school friend, Cate Beaumont, who is eight months pregnant and in trouble.
On the night they arrange to meet, Cate is mown down by a car that kills her husband instantly. As paramedics fight to save her life they discover there is no baby. Her pregnancy is an elaborate lie, a cruel deception.
Why? What happened? As Alisha sets out to answer these questions, she is drawn deeper and deeper into a dangerous quest that will take her from the East End of London to Amsterdam's red light district and into a murky underworld of sex trafficking, slavery and exploitation.
A gripping thriller, with twists at every turn, The Night Ferry is Michael Robotham's finest novel yet.

Thought provoking insight into people trafficking
Plenty of twists in the tale with an interesting look into people smuggling and underground networks.

Such a talented author
This is a rather different type of story than we are used to from Michael Robotham .
I like fact that he can vary his plots so much. Nonetheless an interesting if somewhat disturbing topic.
Good narration

Gave up half way through
The start was promising but it went off in a ridiculously complicated tangent. Couldn’t see why the main character who got involved chasing around everywhere with something that wasn’t really her business. It may have got better but I gave up as I found the plot so boring.

Good but not great!
I really did enjoy the story, lots of twists and turns, thought I knew where it was going and it would change direction! Kept me on my toes. However, it would have been nice to have had a narrator that has the same background as the main character being voiced, don’t get me wrong she’s a good narrator but it took me out of it. It felt a bit awkward the fact that MR was writing from the point of view of women and missing the facts on several topics. But the story at its base was not bad

A few good twists
This was an interesting idea for a story and it kept my interest although, at times, I had to remind myself of some of the characters.
At times it was a little implausible but still an enjoyable listen.

Good story
I really like Michael Robothom, but in his latest books he seems think England is in the US. Who is Dr. Phil and what are running pants? Apart from the it's a good book.

very disappointed
Clare Corbett is a very good narrator. Sadly compared to Michael Robothams previous novels The Night Ferry disappointed me.

Very poor
As a fan of the author I confidently used up a credit, only to be disappointed. Boring story, not up to standard.

Dissapointed
Was doing ok-ish until a well known character from previous novels appeared. For some strange reason his accent had changed! No longer from the East End but vaguely Yorkshire way. In fact the different accents the narrator attempts are poor and off putting.
Lots of padding out and hard to believe MR wrote this. Sorry to say given up. A shame because I love his other work.
