Reviews on amazon.com:
"Although I'm not normally a reader of paranormal novels, Jens Kuhn took a very different approach with The Gripsholm Mystery, and kept my interest fully. The accuracy of the historical sea faring story line is not overpowered by a lot of hocus pocus. Instead, Jens Kuhn adds a sensitive and magical touch to his World War 1 sea adventure. A most enjoyable read and one that crosses the boundaries of fantasy, paranormal and historical fiction very well indeed."
"Fiction/novels are not usually my favorite read. But I must explain why this novel was different. I read a sample teaser on Amazon.com that immediately made me think the main character, Antonia Correlli could be scooped up and placed into just about any era and survive with her special combination of wiles, magic, cunning and empathy for the suffering. It's this last trait that makes the reader forgive her need to feed to retain her strength. "
