This is a mystery set on a merchant tallship in the 1630s. The setting is really cool, the mystery is really engaging, and I enjoy the characters. The atmosphere veers towards horror, but in my opinion it doesn't veer hard enough, which didn't leave me scared but left me feeling a bit bleak. I loved the characters and I'd be interested in trading another, but I don't know Turton to write sequels.
