Perfect for you if...

You enjoy cosy mysteries with genuine laughs and heart, where the detective is as entertaining as the crime itself.
You love series with ensemble casts aboard confined settings where every passenger could be a suspect or a love interest.
You appreciate characters who are competent but also mess things up, stumble into danger, and know how to run away screaming when needed.

Maybe not for you if...

You want gritty, hard-boiled detective work with graphic violence and dark psychological complexity.
You need your mysteries laser-focused on the puzzle with minimal romance, banter, or character-driven humour.
You prefer standalone mysteries over multi-book series that build continuity and character relationships across instalments.

About this book

Patricia Fisher works as a detective aboard a luxury cruise ship. When a mysterious stowaway is discovered murdered in the ship's lower levels, Fisher must identify both the victim and the killer. As Fisher investigates, she navigates a backdrop of petty thefts, con artists targeting wealthy passengers, and her own developing romance with the ship's captain. The investigation leads to an unexpected discovery involving treasure. Fisher, a fifty-something woman with sharp investigative instincts, finds herself drawn into dangerous circumstances. Her skills are tested as she works to solve the murder while contending with the various crimes and complications unfolding aboard the vessel.
