Final resting place? Deck chair.
Sheila Mackey has a secret. To the world, she's the author of a blockbuster book. Her wily great-aunt, the actual author, orchestrated this mutually beneficial masquerade. Now her aunt's retiring and Sheila must draft Act Two of her own life.
A cruise across the Atlantic on the Diversion is supposed to be the perfect time to do that.
Two problems.
First, her great-aunt saddles her with an irksome relative.
Second, Sheila finds a dead body on deck.
She realizes she knows a whole lot more about the interactions of the victim and suspects than the ship's officials do. She's drawn into sleuthing, but finds herself hampered by a well-meaning but overprotective would-be Dr. Watson. Along with trying to keep her huge secret while digging up those of the victim and the suspects.
If you like mysteries about the inner world of writers, you'll love USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn's newest whodunit traditional mystery series with humor Secret Sleuth where even the sleuth has secrets (and a rescue dog named Gracie, from the second book on)
Get on board to sail away with crime, clues, and memorable characters.
What readers say about Death on the Diversion
"A mystery, a murder, a cruise and an intelligent, feisty, likeable main character. What more could you ask for in a cozy? I read a lot of books and this is one of the best I have read in a long time. The plot is very imaginative and well thought out. The details of the cruise are spot on and made me feel as if I was there . . . This book reminded me of a modern-day Miss Marple (although considerably younger.) I rarely say this, but I can't wait for the next book." 5*
"A totally unique protagonist - witty, grounded, human. An intriguing crime venue. I hope there are many more in this series." 5*
"If the characters in this book don't remind you of people you've met...you are hiding under a big rock! . . . Absolutely side ripping fun!" 5*
"This is a great book! The premise is original and fun. . . . The dialogue is smart, witty, incisive, dryly humorous, and realistic. . . Sheila's descriptions of Petronella's reactions on boarding the ship had me snorting (in a ladylike fashion, of course) with laughter." 5*
"The mystery is clever and intricate... reminiscent of the Golden Era of British mysteries . . . I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I am looking forward to reading more of this series." 5*
"This was a good mystery with a victim you hated and a bunch of crazy suspects, each of whom could've done it! A fun ride!" 5*
Starting in Death on Torrid Avenue, amateur sleuth Sheila returns to dry land, adopting rescue collie Gracie, and moving into a new-to-her home, finding that mysteries abound in small-town Kentucky.
