2.0 out of 5 stars "Murder on the Titanic" could have been better, February 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Murder on the Titanic (Mysteries in Time Series) (Paperback)

James Walker's "Murder on the Titanic" has an intriguing plot and enough historical accuracy to keep things interesting, but Broadman & Holman (his publishers) did him a disservice by editing the book poorly. There are misspelled and misused words, adjectives repeated too frequently and some very wooden sections in the dialogue. All of these things detract from the story and, for me, spoiled the enjoyment of the book. I kept thinking, "I wish someone had read this over more carefully before it was printed!" It also seemed like a whole chapter must have been cut near the end of the story, as it jumps from hitting the iceberg to the frantic search for lifeboats without any reference to that critical period on the Titanic when most of the passengers didn't believe she would sink. Although there is much that is good about the story and its message of faith, I wouldn't recommend this one to my mystery-reading friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review By Robert Reid, April 4, 2000

I found this book very interesting and enjoyable. It is a little slow to start but becomes quite exciting and suspenseful. Realy a great book once you get into it. It is non stop action and I found myself hardly able to put it down. It was a treat to find a book with no swearing in it. Also has numerous references to God. It has a moral of what faith can do.

Murder on the Titanic is the best mystery I have ever read! If you are interested in the Titanic, this is the book for you! Jim Walker's book gives you alot of history about the Titanic, but he also weaves in an intricate mystery and murder that makes you not wanting to put it down! Murder on the Titanic was the best book and I can't wait to read the sequel: Voices from the Titanic! This is a must read for everyone!
