Set sail for murder and mayhem when hairstylist Marla Shore and her fiancé cruise to the Caribbean with a killer on board in this cruise ship cozy mystery.
Hairstylist Marla Shore is looking forward to a romantic interlude with her fiancé, Detective Dalton Vail, on their first Caribbean cruise. Her excitement hits a snag when she discovers his parents have come along for the ride. It isn’t how she might have chosen to meet her future in-laws, but she hopes they’ll have smooth sailing ahead.
The first sign of trouble is a threatening note she receives on her cabin door. It’s addressed to Martha Shore, which she assumes is a mistake. But when she meets her dinner companions and learns they’ve received similar notes, she suspects something isn’t kosher and it’s not the lobster on the menu. Their tablemates are all colleagues from an art museum, where an artist died recently under strange circumstances. She’s just getting to know them when they begin to disappear one-by-one. Realizing the killer may be on board, she musters her sleuthing skills to expose the culprit before her next excursion turns into a trip to Davy Jones’s locker.
