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.
