Can I Start This Series In The Middle?
This was the first book in the series I read and I did not feel left behind on Val’s backstory. The mystery stands alone as well. You would be comfortable picking up this book, even if you haven’t read others in the series.

Marie’s Thoughts

I read this book when I was on vacation with my family and it was a great vacation read. It was easy to pick up and put down and still follow what was going on in the story. The characters were relatable, and I always enjoy when the protagonist has a strong relationship with one of their grandparents. The Titanic tie-ins were a lot of fun and left me craving more information about the historic voyage, as well as craving a s’more (or two)!
