Rachel Jacobi-Prince and Lady Marjorie Snellthorpe are delighted to be invited to dine at the captain's table. A pleasant dinner, shared with Marjorie's son and troublesome daughter-in-law, becomes less palatable when the guest of honour goes missing.
Rachel suspects foul play, and with a slew of suspects who each have motives, she fears she could be too late to stop the killer getting away with the crime.
One of the dinner guests is a killer, but with all of them having something to hide, Rachel finds it difficult to narrow it down. With Lady Marjorie's son determined to do business while on board ship and his wife flirting with the unpleasant Sir Wilfred Vanmeter, Rachel and Marjorie's patience could be tested to the limit.It's up to Rachel to keep Octavia Snellthorpe out of Marjorie's way while trying to track down a killer before somebody else ends up in a body bag. It appears all of the guests, including Jeremy Snellthorpe were bamboozled by the bedazzling diamonds that have also gone missing, presumed stolen... Jeremy seems ignorant of his wife's flirtation, but is he? And what of the scruffy Thomas Elrod, son of the missing woman? Rachel must unravel each of their secrets in order to identify a ruthless killer, before someone else becomes fish bait.
Captain's Dinner Cruise Murder is the exciting tenth book in the Rachel Prince Mystery series. If you like seafaring suspense, dastardly deaths, and edge-of-your-lifeboat tension, you'll love Dawn Brookes's latest adventure.
