Asesinato a bordo del Olympic

A Traveler’s Tale of Murder #1

by Jennifer S. Alderson

Glamour, agallas y asesinato en el mar

Evelyn Cartwright, una prometedora escritora de viajes estadounidense, está lista para la aventura de su vida cuando aborda el opulento RMS Olympic con su buena amiga, la estrella del cine mudo Grace DeBois.

Comisionada por una revista de Nueva York para escribir sobre sus viajes europeos, Evelyn no espera menos que un viaje glamoroso e inspirador. Pero cuando encuentran a un reportero muerto —apuñalado con la aguja de tejer de Grace— el viaje de ensueño de Evelyn rápidamente se convierte en una pesadilla. Con el capitán del barco ya convencido de que Grace es la culpable, Evelyn no tiene más remedio que pasar a la acción y limpiar el nombre de su amiga.

Mientras Evelyn profundiza en su investigación, se encuentra navegando en las complicadas aguas de los secretos de la alta sociedad, motivos enredados y pasajeros con algo que ocultar. A medida que el Olympic se desliza por el Atlántico, las apuestas se vuelven más altas, y Evelyn debe navegar aguas traicioneras para detener a un asesino antes de que ataque de nuevo.

So very good!! I enjoyed every minute of it!!
I was I felt like that I got to know the Olympic so much better!!.
Evelyn and Grace cracked me up sometimes. I already knew Grace didn't do it.
At first I didn't like Hardy. But eventually I did learn to like him.
This was an awesome adventure. The Rms Olympic is a special ship in my opinion and my favorite!

This new series introduces an independent young American travel journalist in the 192os who can’t help becoming involved in murder mysteries. In this novel Evelyn is travelling with her friend Grace, a silent movie star now giving up films for marriage to a European aristocrat. There are many characters on board the luxury liner so plenty of suspects when an unpleasant man is murdered but circumstances frame Grace so Evelyn must assist Detective Hardy in his investigation in order to prove her friend’s innocence. The complex plot kept me engaged and I enjoyed Evelyn’s development of a working relationship with the detective. Her time in London in the next volume looks very promising.

An enjoyable read

The story was interesting. It takes a while to get to the murder, about halfway through the story. The author did keep me guessing about who the murderer was, but it was one of three I had as sighted in on. There was a bit of repetitive phrasing and the tenses changed on occasion, which kind of drives me crazy, but overall I enjoyed the book.

Murder in the high seas

Mystery,murder,theft,fraud - it's all there on board the Olympic ocean liner.
This mystery has a large cast of interesting characters all of whom have their own secrets, but who did it?
An enjoyable read.

[Lara Ottavi]

Un cosy mystery gradevole, che ci porta negli anni '20 del XX secolo, su una delle navi gemelle del Titanic. Diversi i dettagli storici interessanti ma a tratti il libro fatica a scorrere e la trama sembra arrotolarsi su se stessa. Comunque un modo piacevole per qualche ora di distrazione

Good First Book of the Series

I like our heroine. She seems bright and capable. And curious, very curious. Looking forward to the next book. Can't wait to read more adventures.

Banale e sciatto. Ho fatto fatica a finirlo. Errori nella traduzione, vogliamo spendere due soldi per una rilettura coerente del testo?

[Alessia]

carino e scorrevole, l'ho letto principalmente in aereo. il mistero è abbastanza risolvibile. è un libro che ti fa sentire la persona più intelligente nella stanza

[Rouse]

Entretenido para pasar el tiempo, pero tampoco es un gran lectura.

[Dianna]

This is the first book that I have read that she has written. I enjoyed the development of the characters and the storyline. I hope this helps someone want to read it! Happy reading!
