“Dunstable Mollock was not able to get off the ship before it departed on its voyage to London.
Not to worry he finds an old friend Walter Ghost on board. Ghost is a bit of an eccentric genius which comes in handy when a fellow passenger is found dead
This mystery written in 1929 is not comparable to modern mysteries. It doesn't lay out the clues for the reader to try to find the solution. What it does have is engaging dialogue that grabs the reader from the beginning. An adventure on the seas with a killing is how I would classify this book.
I loved the characters and their interactions, Mollock was a favorite.
The parts I disliked is the solution. It was not realistic. As stated earlier there was no clues to point the way.
The best part of this book is the story that holds your attention from first to last. Considering when it was written I think it was well done.”

“I'm a sucker for all things "transport" mystery, whether it be plane, train, or ship. So, this book was no exception. Our narrator, Dunstan Mollock, is nearly a stowaway on a transatlantic trip to Cherbourg, and of course the amateur sleuth and novelist gets right into the thick of things. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the novel within a novel storyline. A silent movie film reel is also an important clue, and its description proved to be surprisingly evocative. But despite the high points, I was disappointed with the ending, as I felt as though the suspect came out of left field.”
