Welcome to Litsy!

This does have some very Agatha Christie vibes throughout the story. The ship of course was real but much of the rest is false yet i found myself hoping she wouldn't have the ending we all knew was coming. The plot itself is interesting but at times it did drag a little. There are many characters and we don't learn enough about them to truly understand their motives. The ending was expected but I did enjoy how Gallagher finally figured it out. 3*

1915 sees civil servant, Patrick Gallagher, onboard the RMS Lusitania sailing from New York to Liverpool via Queenstown, Ireland. WWI is raging & passengers were warned of the possibility that a German u-boat could sink them which makes the mood of the journey somewhat subdued. Gallagher is returning to the UK with Chalfont, a British diplomat working in America who has been detained on suspicion of spying for the Germans. (continued)
