Murder, mayhem and adventure on the high seas. Throw in a Sherlock / Watson type detective duo, some dubious characters and an ancient demon stalking the ship and you have, my friends, a recipe for a cracking fun, page turning who-dunnit. 

I adored Evelyn Hardcastle and Turton’s follow up novel does not disappoint. I just want more!
