I mentioned in my last cover theme post that I would post about a few books set on The Titanic. Here are the ones I have on my database, please feel free to add any suggestions in the comments.
So most recently we've had:
Araminta Hall's Hidden Depths
Passenger...
Lily is pregnant, travelling onboard the Titanic to her beloved family in the United States, hoping she can get there before her mind and body give up.
For a long time now she's known her husband is not the man he's pretending to be and she's not safe.
So, when she meets widower Lawrence she knows he's her last chance for help.
Or Prisoner...
But Lawrence knows he hasn't got time to save Lily.
Lawrence is the only person on board the unsinkable ship who knows he will not disembark in New York.
And the danger is much worse than either of them could imagine.
Can Lily and Lawrence help each other to safety before it's too late?
And back in 2012, to commemorate the 100th Anniversary, we had:
Dan James's Unsinkable and Alex Scarrow's The Candle Man:
A DOOMED VOYAGE
April 14th 1912. The maiden voyage of the world's most luxurious passenger liner, Titanic.
A DARK PAST
Each passenger has their own reason to make the crossing, but for former Special Branch police officer Arthur Beck it is the only way he can escape the demons of his past.
Also on board is Martha Heaton, a female journalist sent to cover the great ship's journey and prove herself as a serious reporter.
A FEARFUL ENCOUNTER
As the huge ship nears the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, Beck and Martha are closing in on a murderous criminal. But, with time running out, they must stop him - before it's too late...
Jack the Ripper's London...an eerily quiet dining room on the Titanic...and a series of murders that covers two decades.
1912. Locked in an eerily quiet dining room on the Titanic, a mysterious man tells a young girl his life story as the ship begins to sink. It all starts in Whitechapel, London in 1888...
In the small hours of the night in a darkened Whitechapel alley, young Mary Kelly stumbles upon a man who has been seriously injured and is almost unconscious in the gutter. Mary - down on her luck and desperate to survive - steals his bag and runs off into the night.
Two days later, an American gentleman wakes in a hospital bed with no memory of who he is or how he got there. He has suffered a serious head injury, and with no one to help him remember who he is he starts to wonder how he will ever find his way home.
One terrible truth links these two lost souls in the dark world of Victorian London - a truth that could ruin the name of the most influential man in the land...
Back in 1912, as the Titanic begins its final shuddering descent to the bottom of the frozen, black Atlantic, one man is about to reveal the truth behind a series of murders that have hung like a dark fog over London for more than two decades...the identity of Jack the Ripper.
There's also a Titanic themed US Cozy which came out in 2018:
Maya Corrigan's S'more Murders
Managing a fitness club cafe and collaborating on a cookbook with her gradfather are Val Deniston's usual specialties, but she's about to set sail into nearby Chesapeake Bay--straight into a murder case . . .
Since catering themed events is a good way to make extra cash, Val agrees to board the Titanic--or at least cater a re-creation of the doomed journey on a yacht. The owner of the yacht, who collects memorabilia related to the disaster, wants Val to serve the last meal the Titanic passengers ate . . . while his guests play a murder-mystery game. But it is the final feast for one passenger who disappears from the ship. And that's only the tip of the iceberg.
Now Val has to reel in a killer before s'more murders go down . . .
