Dangerous Crossing |
by Rachel Rhys |
 |
Praise For This Book |
"A vividly descriptive ride from this enticingly mysterious author, leading up to a killer ending we did not see coming." - Marie Claire "Thrilling, seductive, and utterly absorbing." - Paula Hawkins, #1 bestselling author of The Girl on the Train "A gorgeously atmospheric read. Prepare to be transported." - Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in Cabin 10 "Rhys captures the essence of the era, class structure, prejudice and fear of war...Suspense is built from the opening page until the jaw dropping ending due to her sharp plotting. Readers will be completely absorbed in every aspect of the characters' lives, the voyage and two murders. Dangerous Crossing is a tale to savor." - RT Book Reviews (Top Pick) "[Rhys] offers plenty of glamorous atmosphere, period detail, and engaging ports of call along the way to please both historical fiction readers and mystery lovers." - Library Journal "A seductive novel that grabs readers' attention from the first page and doesn't let go. Rhys beautifully captures each scene during Lily's five-week voyage, combining mystery, intrigue, scandal, and murder. Readers will love it." - Booklist "The most compelling mystery here lurks between the lines." - Kirkus "Dangerous Crossing has the trappings of an Agatha Christie mystery...especially Death on the Nile, with which this book shares its era, shipboard setting and breathtaking scenery....[Christie] would have found this sumptuous, rewarding (and hopefully Masterpiece-bound) historical crime novel deadly." - Shelf Awareness "An intriguing historical crime page-turner about an action-packed five-week voyage from England to Australia, with fancy-dress balls, First Class card parties, shipboard romances and whirlwind visits to exotic ports, all firmly rooted in a world on the brink of war. At the center of this gripping story is a young heroine named Lily Shepherd, eager to escape a troubled past and see the world, who gets more than she bargains for when she stumbles into a friendship with a wealthy, glamorous American couple. Impossible to put down." - Toronto Star |
