Masquerades, mimosas ... and murder
It's a dream come true for Frances Palmer: A voyage from Australia to
England on the "Empress of the Sea", together with her fiancé Jack
Sullivan and her Uncle Sal, aka "Salvatore the Magnificent". They've
been hired to entertain the passengers with magic tricks and daring
stunts.
But all is not well below deck, with jealousy and larceny ruffling the
cheerful atmosphere.
Frances and Jack soon find themselves in stormy seas, together with
newfound allies. When a passenger is found dead after a costume ball
and one of Frances's new friends is accused of murder, they decide to
secretly dive into the case.
Nothing is plain sailing, though, against a cunning murderer. Will Jack
and Frances and their friends get to the bottom of the truth, or will they
sink in the sea of deception?
Murder Makes Waves is the third mystery in this cozy series set in the
early 1930s.
