Book Description:
My name is Trixie Troublefield-Baxter, and I live aboard the Emerald Queen of the Seas, where my days are usually filled with teaching art classes, writing my travel blog, and getting into trouble with my partners in crime, a couple of senior citizens who’ve never met a buffet or a handsome stranger they could resist. My husband Ransom heads up ship security, so the mayhem is more or less a family business. And these days there’s even love brewing on the bridge—our ship’s captain may have finally met his match.
But this Mediterranean adventure just got a whole lot deadlier. The Emerald Queen of the Seas has been invaded by the Magic and Mishaps Society—fifty wonderfully terrible Las Vegas magicians, more velvet capes than a costume warehouse, and their beloved headliner, the King of Magic himself.
Between dove releases gone wrong, levitating volunteers, and enough sequins to blind a seagull, I hardly noticed the body that drops at the bon voyage party. Now I’m investigating a glittering slew of suspects with devastating secrets, dodging a flirtatious ghost in fishnets who claims to be the King’s long-lost stage partner, and trying not to get sawed in half by a society whose grandest illusion may be hiding an actual murderer.
As we sail from Barcelona to the cliffs of Monte Carlo, past the Leaning Tower and the painted villages of the Italian coast, the body count threatens to stay at one—if I can figure out which charming, perfectly helpful magician is concealing a killer beneath all that glitter and showmanship.
Turns out when magic tricks meet real-life homicide, the fastest way to make a man disappear isn’t always an illusion.
Midlife on the high seas is proving to be murder.
