Novella 3 of 3 Books in Cruise Ship Cozy Mysteries
When the Final Course is Served, Someone Always Takes the Heat
Lady Margaret Turnbull thought a Southeast Asian cruise would help her escape the loneliness of widowhood—not plunge her into a deadly game of cat and mouse with an international drug smuggling network.
The acclaimed cookery school proprietor from Bangalow simply wanted to honour her late husband's dream of cruising together. Instead, she's found herself dodging assassins, decoding cryptic messages, and racing against a sinister countdown that ends at a celebrity chef's riverside banquet in Da Nang.
With two attempts on her life already, Margaret knows she should walk away. Let the authorities handle it. Return to her safe, predictable life teaching proper whisking technique and the importance of resting pastry.
But when innocent lives hang in the balance—including a frightened stewardess whose sister has been kidnapped—Margaret can't ignore her instincts. Especially not when she discovers her name circled in red ink on a seating chart marked "Target" and "Final Course."
Armed only with her sharp mind, decades of pattern recognition from reading recipes, and the reluctant partnership of the charming Dr. Andreas Khoo, Margaret must navigate the treacherous waters between Bangkok and Da Nang. She'll uncover smuggling operations hidden in catering supplies, face off against ruthless operatives who know where she lives, and prove that a sixty-four-year-old widow can be far more dangerous than anyone anticipated.
The network thought they could threaten her into silence.
They badly underestimated Lady Margaret Turnbull.
Because in every kitchen, someone must take the heat—and Margaret has spent a lifetime mastering the art of not getting burned.
Perfect for fans of cruise ship mysteries, culinary cozies, and amateur sleuths who prove that life's biggest adventures can begin after sixty. Join Lady Margaret on the Sunrise of Singapore for exotic locations, mouth-watering descriptions, unexpected romance, and a mystery that will keep you guessing until the very last page.
