When the Titanic sinks it takes with it the crime scene, the witnesses and possibly the murderer.The Titanic’s last stop is at Queenstown, Ireland, where seven first-class passengers disembark.
Soon after continuing its voyage, the body of a man linked to the doomed liner is fished from the water – murdered. With the crime scene now at the bottom of the ocean, District Inspector Lorcan O’Dowd’s only lead to the identity of the killer is through the seven passengers who left the ship.
The story he unravels reveals the life of the dead man through those who knew him in England and China. A woman is charged with murder, but O’Dowd isn’t convinced. He is determined to find the real killer.
This is a really clever premise and also a hugely enjoyable and accessible read. In 1912, 7 passengers did actually leave the ill-fated Titanic and came to shore in Queenstown. Angie Rowe’s debut takes this lesser known fact and – thanks to painstaking research – builds an enthralling whodunnit with a sweeping historical panorama that travels from Ireland as Home Rule percolates, to London’s Scotland Yard, China during the Boxer revolution and even New York.
