I love a locked room mystery, me. I also love a side order of dark humour with my locked room mystery. A main character that's a bit of a maverick is a bonus. This book ticked all those boxes, and then some. 🚢
Jack Parlabane, our maverick, is an investigative journalist, trying to solve a decades old mystery. It's not long before he finds himself in the middle of a murder mystery onboard an ocean liner. 🚢
With three generations of one entertainment family, a business man keen to buy the puppet show that made them famous, and assorted fans of the show, there's quite a lot going on before we even get to the murder. There's also quite a lot of characters. That said, I enjoyed this. I really, really did. There's dark humour aplenty, and enough intrigue to keep the little grey cells ticking over. 🚢
This is the ninth book in the Jack Parlabane series, but the only one that I have read to date. This didn't hamper my enjoyment in any way. I may even circle back to the beginning some time. 🚢
Thanks to Little Brown and Netgalley for the ARC.
This title will be available on May 7th.
