All aboard for the sixth Kitt Hartley mystery: a swashbuckling adventure with a charming cast of characters, split between Newcastle and Norway.
"Private investigator Kitt Hartley and her twin sister Rebecca are preparing for a holiday in Scotland when cruise ship entertainer Errol Jackson appears at the door. Errol breaks the news that Bryce Griffin, former smuggler and an old friend of Kitt's, has been murdered: his body found washed up by a lighthouse, bearing a gunshot wound. Kitt persuades Rebecca to cancel their trip and, together with Kitt's assistant Grace Edwards and best friend Evie Bowes, books onto the next cruise to help with the ongoing murder investigation. Aboard the cruise ship they encounter burlesque dancers, casino dealers, drag queens and a talking parrot named Skittles - seemingly the only witness to Bryce's death. But what dark secrets are lurking below deck?" -- Back cover.
Another winner . . . Kitt is definitely a woman not to be messed with
