The Cuban Heiress

Sara says: "Summer Reading Guide author Chanel Cleeton brings us aboard the real-life SS Moro Castle in the glamorous 1930s for a historical fiction thrill ride. (Note to eager googlers: hold off on researching the ship until after the dramatic conclusion to avoid spoilers!) Two women come on board this Cuban bound luxury cruise with more than a vacation in mind. Catherine, an apparent heiress hiding her past, seeks refuge in a wealthy fiancé's arms. Elena, a Cuban immigrant clutching a smuggled gun, hides in dark corners, intent on revenge. I was surprised when I found out just how these two narratives collide, and enjoyed the mix of old world elegance and chilling suspense worthy of Ruth Ware."
