Murder on the Maiden Voyage
(2025)(The first book in the Cruise Ship Mystery series)
A Story by Maisy Marple
Retirement was supposed to be peaceful for Erin Bellamy, former Boston homicide detective. A luxurious Caribbean cruise aboard the gleaming new Sapphire Sunset promised nothing more strenuous than poolside reading and gourmet meals. But when the charismatic cruise director is found dead in the ship's freezer, the captain recruits Erin's expertise for a discreet investigation. With the nearest port days away and a ship full of potential suspects, Erin reluctantly dusts off her detective skills for one last case.
Joined by Arthur Palmer, a witty retired English professor who becomes her unexpected sidekick, Erin navigates the complex world of cruise ship politics and personalities. From the temperamental head chef to the elegant entertainment coordinator, from the mysterious VIP passenger to the nervous bartender who sees too much—everyone has secrets and motives that don't quite add up. As tropical storms gather on the horizon and tensions rise among passengers and crew, Erin must solve the case before the ship reaches port—or before the killer strikes again.
Join Erin Bellamy as she discovers that retirement might be a new beginning rather than an end, and that her detective skills may take her places she never expected to go.
