5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, exciting read! Extremely well written.
Verified Purchase
Enjoyed this book so much! It was excellently researched to capture the essence of the time period. The characters are believable and I particularly like the way factual events, and even the “character” of Agatha Christie, are interwoven with well written fiction. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. This book had me on board a ship in 1928, watching murder and mystery unfold before my eyes. That’s the type book that makes reading enjoyable
