I really enjoyed this. I sort of figured out whodunnit, but not how. It's a bit long, but moves along at a clip. It's one you want to reread to see if you can figure it all out. Turton writes really well and well done mysteries.

The description of life aboard a 17th century merchant vessel is rich and engrossing. Listening to the excellent audio book version took me from my land-locked mid-western location to the high seas of the Indian Ocean. A great story with engaging and clever twisty mystery.??

The mystery is compelling, but grows increasingly ridiculous and the ending is just silly. Terribly disappointing after a promising promise.
