I just finished The Woman in Cabin 10, by Ruth Ware. This was great fun, with an old-fashioned vibe (e.g., The Lady Vanishes, manor-house mysteries). Lo, a travel journalist on the maiden voyage of a small cruise ship, hears a scream and what sounds like a body being dumped overboard from the cabin next door, but that cabin wasn't booked, no one is missing, and she can't make anyone believe that she'd earlier talked with a woman in that cabin.
Imogen Church was the narrator, and except for the mercifully brief passages when she tried to render the Brooklyn accent of the heroine's boyfriend (ouch!), she seemed to do a fine job (though I don't know if the Scandinavian accents would have been correct for those attuned to such voices; to my ear they sounded accurate enough).
The Woman in Cabin 10 was a thoroughly enjoyable book that I definitely recommend.
