Floating Hotel

The aging luxury hotel moving through space provides a clever hospitality-industry backdrop for enjoyable character development stories. A political mystery story line attempts to pull them altogether, but doesn't deliver as much as I hoped.

Exploring a multitude of hotel employees and frequent guests as they solve a mystery

I liked a lot about this book, even though I felt like it lacked some polish, particularly in wrapping the plot up. It is told through slice-of-life-ish vignettes about various characters and how they ended up working at the hotel, with the story revealed incidentally in the background the character's stories. I found this book endearing but ultimately... it's not really a hotel is it? isn't it a cruise ship? this bothered me a lot.
