I would like to thank both NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for allowing me to read and review this book.

Book Review:

I really enjoyed this book. I gave it 4 stars. it is the third book in the series. The thing about this book is that you don't have to the other two books before this one, but you will miss out if you do. In this story they are on the way to England to meet up with her brother. They are on a ship and Jim is seasick. Diana has been a little distant from Jim and he can't figure out why. On this trip they meet up with some pretty interesting characters. There is a murder of a Spanish Diplomat and Jim is assigned to figure out who the killer is. There is a woman who jumps off the ship and another woman who is missing. Can he figure it out before they dock in Liverpool. There is a lot of events that take place and a lot of red herrings.  just love how the author writes about Jim and Diana's relationship. They are close and truly love one another. I like how he includes her in the investigation and takes her view on things.
