‘This series can take your breath away one minute and laughing until the tears start to roll the next.’ On board the world’s finest luxury cruise ship, the days are filled with sunshine, cocktails, and incredible new places to explore. Unless you are employed as the ship’s detective, that is. That job falls to a lady called Patricia Fisher, a whip-smart sleuth whose special skills include attracting trouble, getting shot at, and running away screaming. So, when a mysterious stowaway is found murdered in the bowels of the ship, it falls firmly into her lap to work out not only who he is, but who killed him. To a backdrop of petty thefts, con artists targeting the rich and famous on board, and her own romance with the captain, the dead body leads to a surprising discovery and a word one should utter with care … Treasure. Thrown into a swirling maelstrom of deadly adventure, fifty-something Patricia is going to have her sleuthing skills tested to the maximum. Get ready for murder and mayhem on the high seas. ’She’s like a modern-day Miss Marple, but I have never laughed so hard in all my life!’

Delve into the frenetic world of Patricia Fisher, but be wary of the undertow – most readers get pulled in and never come out again. What’s worse than one dead body? Two, right? Wrong. It’s not so much the number of bodies that Patricia needs to worry about, it’s how far up the mystery meter they score, and this latest case is a doozey. Confused by the clues, Patricia and team must work against the clock to discover the truth. It’s not so simple as following a breadcrumb trail of clues though and when the body count continues to climb … well, can anyone figure out what is going on? An ape on the loose, a suspiciously empty glass tank in a storage room, and someone working very hard in the background to derail Patricia’s efforts. Could this be Patricia’s toughest case yet? The stakes have never been higher and if she doesn’t keep her head, she might lose it all. “There just isn’t anyone writing cozy mystery like this. I’m not sure there ever has been.
