Taken from Flutterbies9's "Crime & Mystery" Bookbox. I'm not a fan of books set in this period (1930s) but recently really enjoyed a book by Goddard so happy to give this a go.

Earmarked for taking on my jollies (depending on how many books I can cram in my case!) but if it does go with me, it won't be coming back! It's destined to be released somewhere along the east coast of Florida so if you're reading this PLEASE let me know where you found it or how it got to you - it would be much appreciated.

I will up-date here with a review on my return. Watch this space.... ;o)


Edit:
I was expecting this would be a fairly easy read, a story of two conman & of their hustles on board the liner “Empress of Britain”, with one of their scams leading them into a dangerous situation or two but it turned out to be a more complex & darker tale than I thought it would be.

Once on board the liner, the two friends, Guy & Max, set their sights on Diana, the (rather unlikeable) daughter of a rich & powerful man, with the intention that whoever wins her hand will split his good fortune with the other. Of course, the path of "true love" never runs smoothly with the romance taking the friends down a rather unexpected path & a murder rather thwarting their plans.

With the back ground of the first World War as it’s setting, this was an intriguing & well-written story. I was certainly kept me on my toes with all the double-crossing & double dealing that was going on left, right & centre making me continually unsure as to who could or couldn’t be trusted & just what their motives were. It all made for a engaging read with a conclusion that wrapped things up satisfactorily & with what I felt was a nice surprise.

Overall a good read & one which gave pause for thought thinking about the terrible possibility of such actions actually having happened….
