Absolutely loved this book. I'm a sucker for the murder on the train (Orient Express)/Space Cruiseliner (The Spare Man)/Generation Ship (Six Wakes) format, so that right there was a great hook. Plus Maud Blyth is one of the most delightful characters to spend time with. A combination of pre-code zany screwball energy with deep, thoughtful feelings, and a burgeoning sexuality thrusting its way through Edwardian-era naivete. The supporting cast is lots of fun as well. This does everything the first book does, but does it all a little better.
