From the author of Murder at Midwinter and Murder at Maybridge Castle comes the cozy new murder mystery for fans of The Christmas Clue and A Lively Midwinter Murder.

The perfect cozy mystery to curl up with this Christmas.

A luxury party sets sail on New Year's Day. But festivities will take a deadly turn…

New Year’s Day 1938. The luxurious ocean liner Midnight Star is partway through its voyage from London to New York. On board is reporter Daphne King, who is drawn to the ship's most mysterious passenger – the enigmatic philanthropist Augustus Bellamy - and his exclusive circle. Once a celebrated archaeologist, Bellamy now curates not only rare artefacts but also individuals.

When one of Bellamy’s guests is murdered, stabbed with a precious dagger, Daphne finds herself in the role of investigator once more. And just when she thinks she may have pieced together some vital clues … Augustus Bellamy himself falls overboard and dies.

Are the two murders connected or is Daphne on the trail of two separate killers? And can she solve both cases before they arrive in New York?
