Yeah, I see a murder mystery set on the Titanic as like all those murder mysteries set in isolated mansions like Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians (Svengoolie had a run of such movies recently: Cat and the Canary, Shadow of the Cat, Night Monster) not quite locked room mysteries but the sense of isolation gives an edge.
But this cover. Photobombing everything! Even a bundle of dyn-o-mite! Photobombing bomb! A bulletin board clutter of images like that will only get you here, at LBC. Titanic sank 1912 — the connection of a Wright flyer aircraft circa 1903 is … what? And with all the public domain photos of authentic late-19th-to-early-20th century arms, a photo of a toy revolver assembled with Phillips head screws — what in the name of Geoffery Boothroyd was that?
big story now: 2017 Swedish journalist Ms Kim Wall took a ride on inventor Peter Madsen’s homebuilt submarine 10 Aug in Koge Bay, Denmark; the sub sank 11 Aug; the inventor was rescued; on 21 Aug Ms Wall’s torso was found on a beach; he now claims she died accidentally and he buried her at sea.
True crime 1990 murder mystery at a US Navy submarine base.
8 Apr 2011 a British sailor murdered Lt Cdr Christopher Hodge on board the nuke sub HMS Astute.
Fictional BOSWORTH, Allan R. Bosworth, “Full Crash Dive”, Duell Sloan and Pearce (1942).
Not much shows up in true crime or mystery fiction.

is it just me or are there a suprisingly large number of these “titanic murder” stories?
what, the horrifying, frigid demise of over 1000 people wasn’t awful enough?
Aw, c’mon…suspension of disbelief, and all that. After all, in some ways, it’s a perfect locked-room scenario, you know?
But my comment differs…if the Titanic ended up at the bottom of Niagara, no wonder they can’t bring her up!

ok, that’s fair. (genuine curiousity: are there any murder mysteries set aboard submarines?)

Seriously! Is that a clumsy tag line or what?
It’s a clumsy tagline.
And an unattributed quote.
Why the huge grey border? The dodgy quote marks? The gallery of random images? A disaster in more ways than one.
