adventurous mysterious fast-paced

I believe I put this audiobook on hold after it was recommended by Anne Bogel. I have like 5 other books I’m trying to finish and yet I ended up listening to this (at x1.5) and finished it in a day. 
I am in the early stages of planning a cruise vacation and thought it would be fun to read a book set on a cruise ship.  However, I was wrong 😂 If you see me reading a book on a ship in the next few months, please tell me to stop unless it’s a light hearted comedy where nothing goes wrong 😇
Ok, as far as the book itself goes, I enjoyed it! I think I rolled my eyes at some of the characters actions but overall I thought it was a good plot and definitely worth a listen if you can get it through your library. It would be just as good in print. Not my top book of the year, but I’m glad I read it and it has a worthwhile authors note at the end! That’s always a plus for me. 
Have you read this?
Do you have any fun cruise themed books I should read?

This is a super fast read.  I finished it in one sleepless night.  I loved the mystery, the 1934 setting, and the story based upon the SS Morro Castle.
