Loved it, loved it, loved it! I must admit that, from the cover and the blurb, I was expecting something more like Death on the Nile – a closed-circle whodunit – but, although it is not, I was certainly not disappointed.
A Dangerous Crossing is a rich and compelling treat: like slipping in to a warm bubble bath accompanied by a single malt and a box of dark chocolates. It is full of luxurious and decadent 1930s detail, bringing the five-week sea voyage from England to Australia bursting to life. The characters and the exotic locations are beautifully described, the tensions and emotions totally realistic and the simmering undercurrents of mystery lead to a surprising conclusion. I sincerely hope there is more to come!
