Murder in the Clear
(2026)(The sixth book in the Rose Cruz Cozy Murder Mystery series)
A novel by Audrey Alden
No one sees the ocean expert leave The Midnight Tide.
A boat full of guests finds him dead beneath the glass.
The Caribbean reef tour begins with passengers leaning over viewing panels, taking pictures of tropical fish.
Then a woman’s cry breaks the chatter. She points through the floor.
Cruise Director Rose Dela Cruz looks down. A diver hangs against a coral frame, motionless.
The orange slate clipped to his vest belongs to Evan Sloane.
He should be up here, leading the excursion.
Ship security checks the logs. His key card never scanned off. On paper, he never touched the water.
Hours earlier, he promised a travel writer something ‘big’ by dinner. The people who knew him go quiet when asked what he meant.
With her beagle Rex close, the former PI starts at the scream and works backward.
Whatever he planned to reveal is still aboard.
So is the murderer who wants it buried.
Genre: Mystery
