About this ebook
For young American widow Jane Wunderly, there are worse fates than adventuring aboard a transatlantic liner with the only man who could change her mind about romance. Unfortunately, her first-class itinerary has an unexpected—and deadly—addition waiting just below deck . . .
Atlantic Ocean, 1926: Voyaging from Southampton to New York, self-reliant Jane is determined to prove herself a worthy investigator on the stately ship—even awkwardly going undercover as the fashionable wife of her magnetic partner, Mr. Redvers. Few details are known about the rumored German spy the duo have been tasked with identifying among fellow passengers, but new troubles unfold once wealthy newlywed Vanessa FitzSimmons announces the sudden disappearance of her husband at sea . . .
Miles Van de Meter, the man Vanessa rushed to marry in Monte Carlo, has allegedly vanished into thin air along with his luggage. Redvers guesses the shifty heiress may be weaving tall tales for fun between flutes of champagne, yet Jane isn’t convinced—not after the stunning murder of a trusted acquaintance sends them into uncharted waters. Facing two dangerous mysteries and a boat load of suspects, Jane must navigate a claustrophobic quest for answers before the culprits can slip from her grasp on land . . . or, worse, ensure she and Redvers never reach their destination.

ocean-liner, historical-fiction, historical-places-events, historical-research, historical-setting, friendship, false-information, relationship-issues, relationships, class-consciousness, amateur-sleuth, cosy-mystery, undercover, missing-persons, murder, murder-investigation, sly-humor, romantic***** You don't NEED to have read the first two, but you're really missing some good reads if you don't! This one easily stands alone as the author brings in the relevant information within the story. this time Jane and Redvers are looking to stop a German spy from selling dangerous information, get involved with a fellow passenger who is being gaslighted, and masquerade as wife and husband. The humor is understated, the characters vivid, the plot complex, and the whole thing entertaining! The publisher's blurb is a good hook so there's no need to repeat that. Loved it! I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
