My review:

I love stories about the Titanic and I enjoy books by Mindy Starns Clark. I bought Echoes of Titanic a while back because of these two things. 

However, I had a very difficult time getting into the story. I would definitely classify it as a "slow start." Once I was over a hundred pages in, I read the back cover, and realized that Cole still had not entered the story.

Rife with historical details, an intriguing mystery, most historical fiction fans will enjoy this one. I was not interested in the financial details of the story, so I struggled.

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

Kelsey Tate comes from sturdy stock. Her great-grandmother Adele endured the sinking of Titanic and made it safely to America, where she not only survived but thrived. Generations later, Kelsey works for the firm Adele founded nearly 100 years ago.

Now facing a hostile takeover, the firm’s origins are challenged when new facts emerge about Adele’s actions on the night Titanic sank. Kelsey tries to defend the company and the great-grandmother she has long admired, but the stakes are raised when Kelsey’s boss is murdered and her own life threatened. Forced to seek help from Cole Thornton, a man Kelsey once loved—and lost, thanks to her success-at-all-costs mentality—she pursues mysteries both past and present. Aided by Cole and strengthened by the faith she’d all but forgotten in her climb up the corporate ladder, Kelsey races the clock to defend her family legacy, her livelihood, and ultimately her life.
