Glass Ocean / Beatrix Williams, Lauren Willig, Karen White / 403 pages

The back story of this book is the sinking of the passenger liner Lusitania during World War I.  It takes place in two time periods, in the present 2013 and in the past 1915.  Each author develops a different main female character.  Sarah Blake is an author researching a book on the sinking of the Lusitania.  Her great-grandfather was part of the crew on the ship.  Her research takes her to England.  Caroline Hochstetter is a southern belle married to a wealthy industrialist.  She and her husband on sailing to England on the Lusitania.  Tess Fairweather is traveling second class on the Lusitania to return to her family in England.  However, her real name is Tennessee Schaff and she is partnering up with her sister for one last heist.  I enjoyed following each character and seeing their lives piece together to tell the story.  I loved the historical backdrop of the Lusitania.
