  Millie and the crew on board Siren of the Seas have their hands full when a group of cowboys and cowgirls board their ship for an action-packed, fun-filled cruise. Andy Walker, the ship’s cruise director, is pulling out all the stops since one of the passengers, Colt Kenworth, has close ties to Majestic Cruise Lines’ CEO, Ted Danvers. 
  The cowboys are spending big bucks on lavish parties and special events including a bull riding competition. Andy has assigned Millie to oversee their events and the cruise starts out smoothly until one of the cowboys takes a hard fall after being thrown from a mechanical bull. 
  Brushing it off, the man refuses to be checked out at the medical center. Within hours he’s dead. Unfortunately, the deceased is the passenger with close ties to Ted Danvers and is also part of a powerful and wealthy family. Suspicions about why the man sustained deadly injuries soon swirl and Danvers dispatches staff from corporate to conduct an investigation of their own. 
  Rumor has it there could be a major shakeup among the officers and crew onboard Siren of the Seas if they are found negligent. For Millie, it’s a race against time to figure out if the cowboy recklessly put his life in danger or if something much more sinister is afoot.

  In the first line of Ocean State, we learn that a high-school student was murdered, and we find out who did it. The story that unfolds from there with incredible momentum is thus one of the build-up to and fall-out from the murder, told through the alternating perspectives of the four women at its heart. The murderer Angel, her mother Carol, and the victim Birdy, all come alive on the page as they converge in a climax both tragic and inevitable. Watching over it all is the retrospective testimony of Angel’s younger sister Marie, who reflects on that doomed autumn of 2009 with all the wisdom of hindsight. Angel and Birdy love the same teenage boy, frantically and single mindedly, and are compelled by the intensity of their feelings to extremes neither could have anticipated. O’Nan’s expert hand paints a fully realized portrait of these women but also weaves a compelling and heartbreaking story of working-class life in Ashaway, Rhode Island. Propulsive, moving, and deeply rendered, Ocean State is a masterful novel by one of our greatest storytellers
