Death on the Queen Mary

The fifth Gertrude Harrington Mystery sees Gertrude’s brother Gerald coming over from America aboard the luxury liner RMS Queen Mary. Passengers include Sir Basil and Lady Cassandra Allingham, Priscilla Farnsworth, and Esme Billington plus their respective children, all of whom are implicated in the theft of a highly coveted emerald and diamond diadem which once belonged to Queen Anne.

An overheard conversation leads Gerald to believe one of the other passengers is in danger, and then a murder occurs. But who is the murder victim? A case of mistaken identity, or something more sinister?

Fate and chance bring the implicated parties to Clyst St James, where they encounter the formidable mind of Gertrude Harrington.

But can she get to the bottom of the mysteries before someone else dies?
