Cruising to Murder

Francis Meadowes has landed himself an enviable job lecturing on the history of crime writing aboard the Golden Adventurer as it cruises down the West African coast. His fellow passengers, including opinionated retired surgeon Klaus, mischievous elderly widow Eve, flamboyant designer Sebastian, beautiful American aid worker Sadie and her tedious but extremely wealthy aunt, are an eclectic group. But is any one of them capable of murder? When one of the guests is found dead in bed and a second disappears overboard, Francis finds himself drawn into a baffling murder investigation where nothing is as it first appears ...

Francis Meadowes si-a obtinut o slujba de invidiat, tinand cursuri despre istoria criminalitatii, scriind la bordul aventurierului de aur in timp ce navigheaza pe coasta Africii de Vest. Colegii sai de pasageri, inclusiv chirurgul pensionat Klaus, avutia vaduva in varsta rautacioasa, designerul extraordinar Sebastian, frumoasa asistenta americana Sadie si matusa ei plictisitoare, dar extrem de bogata, sunt un grup eclectic.
