They spent like a week on the ship but it felt like forever. The mystery was pretty easy to solve but sometimes it annoyed me that the focus shifted a lot from the murders to the romance. Especially when Mephistopheles is just a bolder font of Thomas. Also I get that they're not detectives, they just analyse dead bodies, but you would think Uncle would have some more knowledge but the guy is barely in the book. 
I found myself to be quite disappointed in this book.
