A brilliant new heroine with a nose for mystery and adventure – for all fans of Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow and Murder Most Unladylike.
After solving a case of potential identity theft, Connie Carew is back in her second mystery. This time, it takes place aboard a luxury ocean liner, bound for New York. Only, there’s trouble at sea. Someone is trying to harm the passengers. Why? Who has a grudge against whom?
It’s up to Connie to investigate the secrets of all the passengers as, mile by nautical mile, the ship sails closer towards disaster.
Connie is a clever, witty and opinionated young detective, living at an exciting time – the early part of the 20th century when women were beginning to carve careers and lives of their own. Patricia Elliott has been widely praised for her historical fiction. This is Patricia writing at her very best.
