Book Description:
Nothing says romantic getaway quite like stumbling over a dead body.
My name is Trixie Troublefield Baxter, and I’m setting sail on my much-anticipated Valentine’s cruise with my devastatingly handsome husband Ransom. All I wanted was ten days of champagne, chocolate fountains, and zero corpses. But when a relationship therapist takes a fatal dive into the chocolate fountain on our very first night, my romantic escape turns into homicide investigation faster than you can say till death do us part.
The Emerald Queen of the Seas is hosting two very different groups—traditional marriage counselors preaching monogamy and progressive lifestyle enthusiasts who believe sharing is caring—especially when it comes to spouses. When these opposing philosophies collide over canapés and champagne, someone decides murder is the ultimate relationship advice.
With my octogenarian sidekicks Bess and Nettie causing international incidents at every port, a ghostly widower offering cryptic clues, and enough romantic drama to sink the ship, I’ve got my hands full. Between dodging swingers, solving murders, and trying to keep my friends from being banned from World Heritage Sites, this Valentine’s cruise is turning into anything but a love boat.
The stakes have never been higher, the suspects never steamier, and if I don’t solve this case before we dock, happily ever after might turn into till death do us part for someone else on board.
Because when love is in the air and inhibitions are checked at the cabin door, murder isn’t the only thing that gets messy.
Midlife on the high seas is proving to be murder.
