A good mystery and, confined to a trans-Atlantic ship, some very good tension. Once again, the main character is troubled and not always likeable but you can relate to the tough spot he finds himself in.

This was a great fast moving mystery. My daughter recommended it, very good historical fiction.
Excellent read. All the human frailities, vices, and virtues entangled in this story of a killer and a Lord.

Excellent writing and very good historical fiction about a ship carrying many poor Irish escaping the famine and the horrible feudal system in Ireland. Very good character study, but pretty grim. But it does show the story from the British and the Irish sides.

Wonderful writing; suspenseful story; insightful look at the Potato Famine and the hardships endured by those traveling to America.
