The Widow's Cruise by Nicholas Blake

vsbedford's review against another edition

3.0

A shipboard mystery in the vein of Death on the Nile, but with a lot more focus on interpersonal behavior and not so much on timetables and drawing a map of the ship. No one is pleasant, really, in this cast, which is okay by me but may annoy readers who need a little more investment in the murderer/victim/suspects. A definite recommend, especially because of the descriptions of summertime Greece during this rainy, grey "spring" 2018 has decided to hand us.

I received an ecopy from the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A solid thriller featuring a pair of sisters on a cruise through Greece. One sister is nasty, one is nice. (Sounds a little like on the soaps!) It was an entertaining read, but I guessed the big twist that sort of gave the ending away about 1/3 of the way through the book. Still, it was worth finishing.

I could write the same review for all Nicholas Blake mysteries: they are well written, there's an interesting plot and they keep you guessing till the end.
Strongly recommended.

A great thriller and police novel. For real, this story is fenomenal. Blake is a major writer. The finals chapters are a big master piece.
