Drawn by the Current by Jocelyn Green

A birthday excursion turns deadly when the SS Eastland capsizes with Olive Pierce and her best friend on board. Hundreds perish during the accident, and it's only when Olive herself barely escapes that she discovers her friend is among the victims.

In the aftermath of the tragedy, Olive returns to her work at a Chicago insurance agency and is immersed in the countless investigations related to the accident. But with so many missing, there are few open-and-shut cases, and she tries to balance her grief with the hard work of finding the truth.

While someone sabotages her progress, Olive accepts the help of newspaper photographer Erik Magnussen. As they unravel secrets, the truths they discover impact those closest to Olive. How long will the disaster haunt her--and how can she help the others find the peace they deserve?

My review:  Olive wants to be an insurance investigator.  There's one problem.  She's a woman.  She discovers several issues with the insurance policies that her company has paid on.  But she's a woman so she's not taken seriously.  When she goes on an excursion aboard the SS Eastland with her best friend and it capsizes, she is but into a very difficult position.  Her friend is in a very abusive marriage and fakes her death.  With the help of Erik she achieves her goal of becoming an investigator.  I found this book to be intriguing.  The women of this time weren't expected to know anything of use.  

I was given this book by Bethany House Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
