Book Review: ‘The Cuban Heiress: A Novel’ By Chanel Cleeton

The year is 1934 and the SS Morro Castle liner is leaving New York, and heading to Cuba, and then back to New York. Aboard is Elena, who has a secret, and an agenda. There’s also Catherine, who is engaged to Raymond, and they both have secrets. There’s Harry, who is a womanizer, and a thief, who crosses paths with Catherine, and Julio, who has a mission he’s on. Over the course of the voyage, someone is shot, robberies will take place, and shocking secrets are revealed. It’s a twisty, soapy voyage at sea, that not everyone will survive. It’s another great historical fiction novel from Chanel Cleeton (who never writes a bad novel), based on the real life ship, and what happened to it.
