DEATH ON DECK IBD

Sinopsis

When Lady Swift embarks upon her first luxury cruise she imagines a gilded ballroom, afternoons on deck taking tea and all the delectable food she can eat. But she canâÇÖt seem to escape from murder...áLady Eleanor Swift is all set to spend her birthday with her beau, dashing Detective Hugh Seldon, until he calls to cancel on her again at the last minute. WhatâÇÖs a girl to do? Pack up her staff and her faithful old bulldog, Gladstone, and head off on a cruise to New York, thatâÇÖs what!áOn the stunningly opulent ocean liner Celestiana, Eleanor tries to forget her worries and make the most of her trip. That is, until she sees a man being shot and falling overboard. On closer inspection of the scene, Eleanor literally stumbles over the likely murder weapon. And the nick in the barrel is unmistakeable: this gun belongs to Detective Seldon...áWith some discreet digging, Clifford discovers Detective Seldon is aboard the ship on an undercover mission. Eleanor doesnâÇÖt want to make waves but sheâÇÖs sure that something fishy is going on and heâÇÖs being framed. To get Seldon off the hook, Eleanor casts her net wide and searches for the real murderer among a sea of suspects including European nobility, Italian opera stars and American nouveau riche. But does the victimâÇÖs expensive gold ring point to a lavish lifestyle or is it a red herring?áWhen another passenger is found dead in his first-class cabin, a poisoned whisky glass clutched in his hand, Eleanor realises they are really in hot water. Will the killer be EleanorâÇÖs catch of the day, or will she spend her birthday at the bottom of the sea?áA totally charming, unputdownable Golden Age mystery with characters readers will adore. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey and Lee Strauss.áReaders cannot get enough of Verity Bright!áâÇÖUnputdownable... Had me hooked immediately... Filled with suspense...
