Different look at Titanic disaster
This book is a different look at the Titanic disaster. The book focuses on a reporter's investigation of the Californian a British ship in the area of the Titanic's sinking that did not answer the Titanic's distress signals. Although the book is fiction it is based on historical facts. The author imagines what happened that night and what motivated the captain and the crew of the Californian to ignore the signals. The story of the ships was interesting. I didn't enjoy the reporters personal story. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the Titanic.

Book Review: The Midnight Watch
I'm not really a fan of historical fiction as a genre in general. I do make exceptions, like I did for The Midnight Watch. Certain historical subjects appeal to me more than others and the entire Titanic debacle is fascinating to me.
I loved that David Dyer told the story from multiple view points. It made it less likely that you would get bored with a specific character.
I wasn't thrilled with some of the aspects that go along with most historical fiction novels, but that comes down to a personal preference.
I would recommend The Midnight Watch to anyone fascinated by the Titanic's story or even just lovers of historical fiction because it is very well written.
