![]() Lottie – as her friends call her – is about to embark on the trip of a lifetime. Meet Charlotte Eloise Lindbergh and her Westie Little Dickens. ![]() If you love an opulent mystery set in times gone by then this is the read for you.Īll the opulence of a bygone era, all the elegance of an ill-fated vessel. Well-written, intermingled with true events and I’m happy to be an ARC reader for this series. You will see how they cross each other’s paths as the story unfolds. Recently widowed Lottie made a few friends on the voyage, a trip she should have made with her husband. Not just the threat of the iceberg, no, other matters will give you the chills. Something is afoot on the ship things are not all they seem, and danger is lurking. An avid reader of mysteries, she follows in her father’s policing footsteps, it is in her blood. The protagonist, Charlotte, known as Lottie to her close friends, plays her sleuth part well from the moment she boards the fated Titanic, until the bitter end. The description of the fashions, particularly the dresses and hats must have been very well-researched. In a time before women had many rights, this is reflected well, and I took a dislike therefore to the male egos and their treatment of females on the whole. I loved the wording, the description, and I suppose the sheer snobbery of the upper classes. If you recall the settings on a feature-length production of one of the Christie greats, you will get the picture of the plot, the details and absolute charm of the era. There is a wealth of information from the era and you can totally imagine yourself in the setting and picture the first-class passengers as they are described. ![]() This mystery is a rich read and one you would want to set aside some time to indulge in.
