This is a puzzle book in a setting filled with opulence, glamour ... and murder. When one of your fellow passengers is found dead on the first night of a seven-day cruise, whispers of murder echo below deck. There's a clue pinned to the ballroom door – but what does it mean? Each day a new clue appears, and you must piece together the evidence to solve the crime.
With over 70 killer conundrums to crack and shocking secrets to be revealed, you'll have to navigate elegant soirées and extravagant dinners to decipher who the killer is. Can you unravel the mystery and catch the killer before the ship docks and they vanish for good?
