Death on the Deck
(2026)(The eighth book in the Lady Ellen Investigates series)
A novel by Kelly Mason
All aboard for a 1920s voyage where murder strikes at sea…
Lady Ellen is bound for Cairo, determined to enjoy a well-earned rest after a turbulent year. With her ward, Lottie Penny, and her loyal dog, Prince, she boards the SS Molvina, expecting nothing more taxing than deck games, evening gowns, and the promise of sunshine at the end of the journey.
Once aboard, she is surprised to find several familiar faces amongst the first-class passengers. Though their presence hints at potential complications, Ellen is resolved to arrive in Egypt refreshed and ready to begin a new chapter alongside Captain Ernest Hamilton.
Yet January seas are rarely gentle.
When a passenger is found shot on the open deck, the illusion of safety shatters. Whispers ripple through the corridors, alibis shift like the tide, and suspicion tightens within the ship’s polished lounges and moonlit promenade. With danger confined within steel walls and no one able to escape, Ellen finds herself drawn once more into the hunt for a cold-blooded killer.
A glamorous 1920s whodunit filled with intrigue, romance, and danger on the high seas. Perfect for fans of classic Golden Age mysteries.
Genre: Historical Mystery
