Fun and easy to read. Dashing women and a dashing man. A scoundrel. Character ingredients were right. Setting was romantic (in a heroic sense, though there was romance on the ship). Storyline was good enough to be rooting for the heroes. Villain was a huge louse - really hated him. Adequate tension. But it still fell a little short for me because there were just too many things going on and hinging on each other - Cuban politics, Great Depression, multiple fires, cat thief, etc. would’ve preferred a more simple set of parameters.
