Cruise of Misfortune: An Exciting, Funny Cozy Mystery with an Unlucky Amateur Sleuth on a Luxury Cruise (Jane Grey Mysteries Book 1)
By Ellen Slater
Agatha Raisin meets Knives Out in this witty debut cozy mystery packed with bad luck, big secrets, and murder at sea.
Some people are born lucky.
Jane Grey isn’t one of them.
Her parents died in a tragic accident when she was six, her piano teacher tried to murder her at ten, and her last real estate client turned out to be a wanted drug lord. Now unemployed and desperate for a break, Jane suddenly ‘wins’ an all-expenses-paid luxury cruise to Europe. It sounds like the miracle she’s been waiting for… except there’s more to this trip than meets the eye.
On board, Jane finds herself surrounded by the powerful and cutthroat Blackwood family, along with their patriarch Jacob Blackwood, a billionaire poised to name his heir. To her dismay, Jane also spots Hyde, her old high school classmate with a streak of good luck that always seems to get him out of trouble—the exact opposite of her cursed fortune.
But when Jacob is murdered before the will reading, and Jane is discovered with the poisoned bottle, her fingerprints all over it, her happy vacation comes to an end. Suddenly, she’s the prime suspect on a ship full of suspects with dark secrets—and no land in sight.
With greedy heirs scheming, lies unraveling, and danger closing in, Jane must solve the mystery of Jacob’s death before the real killer finds her.
Cruise of Misfortune is a fast-paced and funny cozy mystery featuring a hilariously unlucky female amateur sleuth, sharp humor, family intrigue, and a murder at sea. It’s perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich, Ellie Alexander, and Deanna Raybourn. One-click now to set sail with Jane Grey in her unforgettable first adventure!
