One cruise ship, six passengers, no escape . . .

As a freelance food consultant, Ruth Morgan travels Britain, advising restaurants, cafes, and hotels on their menus and recipes. So when she's hired to work on board the Ocean Odyssey, she looks forward to gaining her sea legs.

However, when someone throws the captain overboard on the first night, Ruth and five other mysterious passengers discover they've sailed into a death trap, and it's clear the killer won't stop.

On a ship now adrift in the middle of the ocean, with no way to call for help, the dire situation forces Ruth to dust off her amateur sleuthing skills. She wants to help her fellow guests survive through the next three days, but can she unmask the killer before she becomes their next victim?

The first in a series of absorbing whodunnits with a fun amateur sleuth. A light-hearted escape for fans of modern British mysteries and female detectives, plus authors like M.C. Beaton, Faith Martin, and Richard Osman.
