A glamorous voyage to Havana. A ship full of secrets. And one passenger who may not survive the crossing.
Overboard is the third book in the Kenneth Mayhew 1920s Historical Mysteries series, a stylish historical cozy mystery filled with ocean-liner intrigue, sparkling wit, romantic tension, and deadly danger on the high seas.
Kenneth Mayhew has no intention of returning home for another dreary family reunion. Instead, he sets his sights on Havana, where sunshine, cocktails, music, and warm breezes promise a far more appealing escape. Aboard the SS Valbenara, Kenneth expects charm, leisure, and perhaps even a little romance.
At first, the voyage seems to offer exactly that.
But beneath the polished manners and glittering conversation, something is wrong. The ship is alive with whispers, strained tempers, suspicious accidents, and pranks that feel far too deliberate to be harmless. The passengers may be dressed for pleasure, but more than one of them appears to be hiding a dangerous secret.
As the SS Valbenara cuts through the waves, tensions rise. What begins as mischief soon turns menacing, and Kenneth realizes that the ship's elegant decks may be carrying more than wealthy travelers and holiday dreamers. Someone aboard is playing a dangerous game-and the open sea leaves very few places to run.
When the trouble turns deadly, Kenneth must separate flirtation from deception, coincidence from calculation, and harmless hijinks from a killer's careful design.
Can Kenneth uncover the truth before the voyage reaches Havana? Or will someone go overboard before the ship reaches port?
Perfect for fans of 1920s historical cozy mysteries, shipboard mysteries, witty amateur sleuths, glamorous travel settings, and lighthearted intrigue with a deadly twist, Overboard delivers a lively mystery adventure where every passenger is a suspect and every wave may hide a secret.
