Spring has arrived in the Bristol countryside and Sukey Reynolds is enjoying the fine weather and lovely views from her quaint apartment. She has found love with an intrepid crime reporter, and they are busy planning a romantic weekend in London. During her time away she is determined to avoid any more amateur sleuthing. But life is never quiet for Sukey and one night before her holiday she is summoned to the charming Dallington Manor, a country house hotel nestled on the coast in Sandy Bay. She arrives at the starlit grounds to find a terrible tragedy has occurred. Lance Rainbird, a guest at a weekend gathering, has been discovered murdered in the lake. Her superiors close in on a suspect, the man who hosted the party, but Sukey can't shake the feeling that they've got this case completely wrong. During her weekend in the city, she follows a hunch, pokes around Rainbird's house and finds an address book that might just be the golden ticket to clearing an innocent man and nailing the true villain. As Sukey examines Rainbird's acquaintances, she finds old flames, combative colleagues and an estranged brother, but no one with an obvious motive for murder. He had a reputation for being difficult, but who could have wanted him dead? Then Sukey finds a name in the address book that shouldn't be there. Suddenly she knows who the killer is, but can she convince her boss he's got the wrong suspect before it's too late? If murder mysteries by Agatha Christie, Faith Martin and Joy Ellis have you gripped, then you'll love this twisty whodunnit from the queen of cozy crime!

To the world, she's the author of a blockbuster book. Her wily great-aunt, the actual author, orchestrated this mutually beneficial masquerade. Now her aunt's retiring and Sheila must draft Act Two of her own life. A cruise across the Atlantic on the Diversion is supposed to be the perfect time to do that. Two problems. First, her great-aunt saddles her with an irksome relative. Second, Sheila finds a dead body on deck. She realizes she knows a whole lot more about the interactions of the victim and suspects than the ship's officials do. She's drawn into sleuthing, but finds herself hampered by a well-meaning but overprotective would-be Dr. Watson. Along with trying to keep her huge secret while digging up those of the victim and the suspects.

A fun ride!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "For all of you out there who love who-done-its and will read well beyond your bed time hour." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Now I want to go on a cruise!
