"Nightclub singer Lena Aldridge had planned to jump ship before her past caught up with her--only to find a killer has followed her onboard the Queen Mary in this thrilling locked-room mystery. London 1936. Lena Aldridge is wondering if life has passed her by. The dazzling theatre career she hoped for hasn't worked out. Instead, she's stuck singing in a sticky-floored basement club in Soho and her married lover has just dumped her. But Lena has always had a complicated life, one shrouded in mystery as a mixed-race girl passing for white, in a city unforgiving of her true racial heritage. She has nothing to look forward to--until a stranger offers her the chance of a lifetime: a starring role on Broadway and a first-class ticket on the Queen Mary bound for New York. After a murder at the club, the timing couldn't be better and Lena jumps at the chance to escape England. Until death follows her onto the ship and she realizes that her greatest performance has already begun. But who is writing the script?"-- Provided by publisher.

Good Atmosphere but… submitted by kathscot on June 19, 2023, 8:29am No character development. Not terrible, but not gripping either.
