This is a lovely sequel to A Marvellous Light. Because it follows a different set of characters, it won't matter too much if you don't remember the finer details of the first book, but it does build directly on what happened in that book, so you should read them in order.

The story of this one concerns a murder on a cruise ship, and trying to figure out whodunnit while also keeping the bad guy(s) from getting their hands on the powerful magic item belonging to the victim (while not knowing what form that item takes). Along the way, there's a great F/F romance with some very steamy love scenes, and establishing our M/M sequel bait pairing to get you ready for the end of the trilogy.
