3.0 out of 5 stars
Starts out well but fizzles about 2/3rds of the way through,
By Ron "mvg@whidbey.com" (Whidbey Island, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: She Walks Alone (Paperback)
The plot: A young woman visiting an old flame on a Caribbean island books passage on a ship heading to New York. Her friend, recently injured in a riding accident, entrusts her to deliver a package for him since he cannot make the trip himself. On board she discovers the contents, and a chain of events, including the deaths of two others on board, begins. Among the "suspects" is a poisonous snake being transported back to the states in the cabin of a passenger. My review: The adventures on board the ship hold your attention, and the confined space makes for a whodunit in the grand tradition, since there are only a handful of suspects. Once the action changes to New York, interest flags a bit. I grew quite weary of the heroine's actions, although the denouement shows the logic behind what she does. All in all, an okay mystery in the Golden Age vein. |
