3.0 out of 5 stars
OK Golden Age mystery,
By Ron "mvg@whidbey.com" (Whidbey Island, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Five Passengers from Lisbon (Mass Market Paperback)
PLOT:
Fleeing Europe just as WWII ends, a group of people board a Portuguese steamer headed to Buenos Aires. During a violent storm the 5 passengers and three of the crew abandon ship and wind up in a lifeboat on the open Atlantic. After rescue by an American hospital ship headed for America, it is discovered that one of the 8 survivors is dead, and not by natural causes. Once on board the USHS Magnolia, another of the group is murdered and it appears that others of the 6 left are being targeted, too. Review: An okay example of the golden age mystery, interesting because it is set aboard a hospital ship underway, not an often used setting. The writing is fluid and easy to read. The puzzle is fairly presented, although the love-angle was a little too pat, and tended to give away some of what was coming. The solution also proved a little convoluted and depended on a coincidence that was sort of a stretch.
