Summary
Do hearts broken long ago forever leave a tangible trace?
A Vegas cocktail waitress. An Indian herbalist. A British chemistry professor. An Italian-American widow. Four unique women with one thing in common: Each is haunted by a tragedy from her past.
Cynthia, Rohini, Jane, and Angela meet on a food blogging site and bond over recipes. On impulse, they decide to open The Secret Spice, an elegant cafe on the magnificent ocean liner, the RMS Queen Mary, currently a floating hotel in Long Beach, California. Rich in history and tales of supernatural occurrences, the ship hides her own dark secrets.
The women are surrounded by ghosts long before they step aboard, but once they do, nothing is quite as it seems. Not the people they meet, not their brooding chef's mystic recipes, and not the Queen Mary herself. Yet the spirits they encounter help them discover that there's always a chance to live, as long as one is alive.

Compelling and moving.
This book really drew me in. Slightly cliched but each character’s story was carefully prepared in hints and comments before the full reveal. The supernatural element builds slowly but curiosity in the character’s stories kept me listening. I enjoyed the ghostly elements and the humour of the ship herself.
I found the narrator frustrating because she was able to make the male characters completely convincing even during emotional moments (not easy for a female reader) and yet she mispronounced words all over the place and her English accent was brutal!
Overall an interesting story that I would prefer to be read to me than read for myself.
