Wealthy Bohemian artist Rowland Sinclair and his lively companions are sailing homewards to Australia on the RMS Aquitania. The ship embodies luxury and civilised respite from the tensions of the Depression-era; until the murders start...
A passenger manifest containing suffragettes, men of God and mystics ought to provide stimulation and safety; instead, a cocktail of flawed people results in danger, death and a cloud of suspicion which envelops Rowland and his entourage - a poet, a fellow painter and a brazen sculptress.
Finding himself unwittingly at the centre of a murder investigation, can Rowland put a stop to the heinous crimes before he and his friends become victims themselves?
Sulari Gentill expertly weaves real events and personalities into her tension-fuelled murder mysteries which are sure to enthral lovers ofdeep intrigue and history.
The combination of thoughtfully drawn characters, gentle but clever humour and the obvious love Gentill has for the story she wants to tell and the time period in which it is set made this a very satisfying read for me and one I would recommend widely
Good characters, a believable plot, both of which transport the reader to a place and a time that just feels right. Regardless of your preference in crime fiction, lovers of cozies, procedurals, historical or current day settings, A DECLINE IN PROPHETS is just a fantastic book -- Karen * Goodreads *
Another story chock full of witty dialogue and crisp likeable characters -- Rebecca * Goodreads *
It is all good fun, highly entertaining and very nicely written. An easy five stars. -- Phrynne * Goodreads *
She transports you to the wonderful world of the 1930s with a delightful mix of real and fictional characters -- Vikki Petraitis * Goodreads *
