Dangerous Crossing |
A fascinating read which tells the tale of a real life murder on board an ocean liner carrying people to Australia in the 1930s - people from all walks of life. The heroine is Lily who is adventurous and keen to escape drudgery at home. Life on board enables the social classes to mix and the central tale is a murder born of jealousy, loss, grief and betrayal.

Dangerous Crossing |
Inspired by a true life account of a 1930's ocean voyage, a story of love, murder, adventure and dark secrets. All taking place on a 4-5 week sea journey to Australia. The accounts of the different classes of people are excellent, mixed with the forthcoming war prospects lying ahead and how this will affect the classes and races aboard the ship. The times brought back many memories.
