Excellent read, suspense, tragedy, tension, and murder. Great historical. Fast moving and well written. I liked the maid--even though she had gotten herself into a sticky mess of devastating secrets.I also liked that this story took place on the ocean and i loved the era and history, with hundreds of refugees on board you can almost hear them talking and see them pondering what is to happen. I could hear the ladies skirts swishing the deck floor and feel the ship rocking, smell the tension in the air and waiting to see who is going to make it to the end of the journey with their reputation or even life still intact really was suspensfull.
