A “closed room” mystery on a boat. The characters were well drawn, the plot pacing was excellent, and the twists were, for the most part, unexpected.

Well written and good head scratcher, I was simply put off by the inner workings of several of the characters.

For those who like Agatha Christie. Forgettable but enjoyable while it lasted.

"November's chill breath trimmed her braids with silver,
Whispering that youth and love were lost forever."

This was better than the second installment, but that might be because I love Agatha Christie and this book draws heavily on her tradition :-)

Would be interested in reading more of his stuff. Period murder mystery set on a boat heading to or from India (I can't remember which).
A bit like Holmes where things aren't always revealed to the reader so you can't necessarily solve the crime yourself.
