Murder on “B” Deck

I very much enjoyed this book. Good pace, interesting setting, a lively set of characters. I didn't find it much of a detective story, though, as the “detective”, a likeable enough fellow, didn't really solve the murder mystery. In some ways that made it a more realistic story, but the Golden Age “fair play” rules weren't actually followed. This is not really important, as it didn't interfere with my enjoyment, but for those focused on the puzzle and working it out, this doesn't really play to those expectations.
