The true story of one of history’s most notorious mutinies is revealed in this riveting “nautical murder mystery” (USA Today).   In May 1841, the Massachusetts whaleship Sharon set out for the whaling ground of the northwestern Pacific. A year later, while most of the crew was out hunting, Capt. Howes Norris was brutally murdered. When the men in the whaleboats returned to the ship, they found four crew members on board, three of whom were covered in blood, the other screaming from atop the mast.   Single-handedly, the third officer launched a surprise attack to recapture the Sharon, killing two of the attackers and subduing the other. An American investigation into the murder was never conducted—even when the Sharon returned home three years later, with only four of the original twenty-nine-man crew on board.   Now, an award-winning maritime historian dramatically re-creates the mystery of the ill-fated whaleship—and reveals a voyage filled with savagery under the command of one of the most ruthless captains to sail the high seas.   “When the American whaleship Sharon arrived at Sydney in December 1842, the world first heard of the shocking murder of the captain by several Pacific island natives serving on the crew. Chalking it up to the savage nature of the islanders, no one bothered to investigate. Druett, a widely published maritime historian, retells the familiar story of how the mutineers were overcome but delves deeper into the details of the infamous expedition . . . Druett’s account of the incident will appeal to those looking for a good drama, but also to those analytically minded skeptics inclined to ask questions and dig below the surface.” —Booklist   “Shocking and very satisfying.” —Richard Zack, author of The Pirate Hunter

I have to admire Joan Druett for attempting to meticulously reconstruct the events of 180 years ago, especially because she is so is so honest in delineating where she veers into guesswork and assumption. In this case however, there does not appear to have been enough resources to draw from. The result is something quite inferior to her other book “Island of the lost”- which I really enjoyed.Structurally, this one has obvious flaws. There is no central theme to bind it together. It fails to entice at the start. Methodically reconstructing an event (rather than crafting a story) from slim historical records does not exactly hook the reader in. Druett begins with bare bones- old lists of crew members, registers of births and deaths. It must have been hard to put flesh on those bones. There is not enough characterization of the main players and the dramatic effect is limited.The first half focuses on the voyage of the Sharon under the evil Captain Norris. Gradually the author builds tension, but then what should have been an action-filled climax is a disappointment. While he gets his just desserts, we learn little about his last moments and his demise is unsatisfying. Then the narrative shifts to follow the fortunes of Benjamin Clough, before changing tack once again; and then again.Overall this is a good insight into the lives of the whalers and the industry in the 1840’s. But as a story.. it doesn’t really hit the mark.
