Murder on the High Seas
(2026)(Book 15 in the Lady Margaret Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by C T Mitchell
THREE PORTS. THREE POISONS. ONE UNSTOPPABLE WIDOW.
The complete cruise ship trilogy featuring Lady Margaret Turnbull
Lady Margaret Turnbull never intended to become a detective. The beloved proprietor of a cooking school in Bangalow, Australia, she simply wanted to honour her late husband's dream of a Southeast Asian cruise — golden temples, fragrant street food, and the kind of deep-blue horizon that makes a person feel wonderfully, blissfully small.
But murder had other plans.
In Murder on the Pacific, a crypto millionaire turns up dead by the infinity pool, poisoned with arsenic in broad daylight. In Murder in Bangkok, someone switches the place cards at an exclusive riverside dinner — and the tea meant for Margaret kills the man sitting in her seat instead. And in Murder in Da Nang, the syndicate she's been unravelling finally stops running and starts hunting. Her name is circled in red ink on a seating chart. The words beside it read Final Course.
They should have picked a less observant target.
Sharp-witted, warmly funny, and possessed of a culinary expert's encyclopedic knowledge of poisons, sixty-four-year-old Margaret proves time and again that the most dangerous person on any ship isn't the one with a weapon — it's the one who notices everything and underestimates no one.
This box set collects all three books in the cruise ship trilogy — a sun-drenched, slyly plotted adventure through Singapore, Penang, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Da Nang, with enough red herrings to stock a fish market and a heroine you'll want as your cabin neighbour.
Perfect for fans of cruise ship mysteries
All aboard. The countdown has begun.
