October 1929Murder books passage on the British luxury liner Queen Victoria, turning ship’s nurse Maeve Chandler into an amateur sleuth apprenticing under the tutelage of mystery writer Agatha Christie. A passenger dies in full view of the first-class dining salon, followed by a millionaire apparently leaping overboard a day before the New York stock market crashes. Add in an abusive husband pushed down an open lift shaft and a crewman left to cook against a boiler in the ship’s engine room, and a killer will walk free when the ship reaches New York unless Maeve and Agatha can unwind the clues -- but with 2,935 suspects on board, every revolution of the Queen Victoria’s propellers means time is running out.  378 pages including bonus chapter for next book in series, a reader’s guide for book clubs and a lexicon of definitions and people from the era who are mentioned in the book. First in a series.'A delightful cozy mystery.' Marie Bostwick, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of The Book Club for Troublesome Women 'This wonderful debut will keep readers guessing until the end.' J. Kenner, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Tower.
