DESCRIPTION:
A glorious ocean liner setting sail, sunset on the horizon, and champagne on deck. All seems shipshape… until Kitty discovers a body on board. Time for some sleuthing!
Devon, 1938. Kitty Underhay is enjoying a well-deserved rest when her very upset cousin Hattie suddenly bursts in. She sobs that the gentleman she had been seeing, Richard Westonholme, seems to have vanished, taking all of her jewellery with him. As Hattie describes Richard, he sounds eerily familiar, and Kitty and her husband Matt board a ship in hot pursuit – only to find him lying in a lifeboat… dead.
As they’ve set sail, the murderer has to be on board too, but there are suspects as far as the eye can see. Could Richard’s wife have something to do with the murder? What about the rich heiress and her guardian? And is the steward hiding something fishy?
Kitty and Matt are all too aware that the clock is ticking while the suspects are trapped with no escape. Can they net the killer before the ship docks? Or will one of them be dead in the water before they reach dry land?
Fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey or Verity Bright will adore this totally charming murder mystery. The perfect treat for cozy crime fans!

Naturally, Kitty and Matt spring into action. As Matt begins making inquiries, it quickly becomes clear that this scoundrel is wanted for far more serious offenses than defrauding Hattie. When they discover he is about to sail across the ocean, they make a bold decision to board the ship themselves, determined to confront him and see justice served.
But before Matt can even question the man, he is found dead in a lifeboat.
With a murderer clearly aboard and the ship bound for its destination, Kitty and Matt—now well established as private investigators—must unravel the mystery before the vessel docks. The confined setting heightens the tension, and the stakes feel deliciously high as the couple races to uncover the truth.
I have been thoroughly enjoying this series, and this installment is no exception. Kitty and Matt are a delightful pair whose partnership—both personal and professional—continues to charm. Their teamwork feels natural and engaging, and the maritime setting adds an extra layer of intrigue. I’m already looking forward to seeing what adventure awaits them next.
