Murder on the Pacific
(2025)(Book 12 in the Lady Margaret Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by C T Mitchell
Murder is the one thing NOT on the itinerary... (Book 12 in the series)Lady Margaret Turnbull didn't plan to solve a murder on her first-ever cruise—she planned to relax, enjoy the tropical scenery, and finally take the holiday her assistants insisted she desperved after running her beloved cooking school in Australia for decades.
But when an arrogant cryptocurrency investor is found dead by the ship's infinity pool, poisoned with arsenic in broad daylight, Margaret's quiet voyage through Singapore, Penang, and Hong Kong transforms into a deadly game of cat and mouse.
The victim had enemies everywhere. His wife, publicly humiliated and financially abused. A wealthy Japanese investor he swindled. A young spa attendant he threatened. A retired chemistry professor with a suspicious collection of "teaching samples." Even the ship's charming doctor and the controlling chief purser seem to be hiding dangerous secrets.
As a British amateur sleuth with decades of observing human nature (and more than a few skills picked up from her mystery novel addiction), Margaret begins asking the questions no one else dares to ask. But someone aboard the Sunrise of Singapore doesn't appreciate her investigation—and they're not afraid to make her the next victim.
When a cryptic threat promises "Next Port = Next Victim," Margaret must race against time to unmask a killer before the ship docks in Vietnam. Armed only with her sharp wit, her knowledge of poisons from her culinary expertise, and her refusal to let injustice prevail, this senior sleuth proves that danger is no match for determination.
But solving one murder only reveals a darker truth: Gregory's death was just one move in a much larger, more sinister game. And the people behind it have just invited Margaret to play...
Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie's clever plotting, exotic travel settings, and cozy mysteries with heart, humor, and a heroine you'll want as your traveling companion.
This is Book One in the Lady Margaret Turnbull Mysteries—a new cozy mystery series featuring a cruise ship murder, tropical Asian destinations, a culinary sleuth who's sharper than any chef's knife, and enough red herrings to stock a fish market.
