Book Review of Five Passengers From Lisbon

Five Passengers From Lisbon
WhidbeyIslander avatar reviewed on + 693 more book reviews


An okay example of the golden age mystery, interesting because it is set aboard a hospital ship underway, not an often used setting. The writing is fluid and easy to read. The puzzle is fairly presented, although the love-angle was a little too pat, and tended to give away some of what was coming. The solution also proved a little convoluted and depended on a coincidence that was sort of a stretch.
