Review
"A suspenseful, highly satisfying read."
-- "Kirkus Reviews"
"A suspenseful, highly satisfying read." -- "Kirkus Reviews"
""When the Dancing Stopped" is a solid addition to the literature of sea disasters, an enduring subject that combines the attributes of history and adventure -- with which Brian Hicks has amalgamated the mystery story. He has exceeded the requirements of his meticulously researched account by establishing the blame for the "Morro Castle" catastrophe." -- Matthew J. Bruccoli, author of "Some Sort of Epic Grandeur: The Life of F. Scott Fitzgerald"
