An action thriller-cum-shipboard romance? Hmmm, maybe, generally this isn't my first choice for a light read, but I'll give it a chance. Add a lovely Yakuza assassin as the main character? Okay, I am there. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but this was a good read and the main characters caught my attention and had me hoping the best for them through all the twists and turns of the shipboard mystery unfolding around them. This would make a great beach read!
