This book had ups and downs for me. The beginning dragged but picked up again once Lo got on board the ship. The mystery was interesting but at the same time was boring. There weren't many clues given. The bulk of the novel was the main character second guessing herself and the other characters not believing her instead of Lo really looking into things. I didn't like any of the characters and was let down by the ending of the mystery. All in all, very slow at parts that dragged the book longer than it needed to be.
