About the Book:
Private investigator Kitt Hartley and her twin sister Rebecca are preparing for a Scottish holiday when cruise ship entertainer Errol Jackson arrives with devastating news: Bryce Griffin, a former smuggler and old friend of Kitt's, has been murdered, his body found washed up beside a lighthouse with a gunshot wound. Kitt persuades Rebecca to abandon their plans, and together with assistant Grace Edwards and best friend Evie Bowes, the group books passage on the next cruise bound for Norway to uncover the truth. Aboard ship they encounter a colourful cast of suspects, from casino dealers to cabaret performers, each holding a piece of the puzzle. Helen Cox weaves humour and warmth through the suspense, delivering a mystery that is as much about friendship and loyalty as solving a crime. The familiar Yorkshire setting is swapped for the deck of a cruise liner, offering a fresh backdrop while retaining the series' trademark charm. As Kitt digs deeper into Bryce's past, old secrets resurface, forcing her to reconsider what she thought she knew about him. The pacing balances light banter with genuine tension as the emotional stakes rise. Fans of British cosy crime, travel-set mysteries, and character-driven whodunits will find plenty to enjoy, whether catching up with old friends from the series or meeting Kitt Hartley for the first time.
