Publisher's summary

Final resting place? Deck chair.

Death on the Diversion begins a new cozy mystery series from the USA Today best-selling author of the Caught Dead in Wyoming series.

Sheila Mackey has a secret. To the world, she’s author of a blockbuster book. Her wily great-aunt, the actual author, orchestrated this mutually beneficial masquerade. Now the aunt’s retiring and Sheila must draft Act Two of her own life. This cruise is supposed to be the perfect time to do that.

Crossing the Atlantic on the Diversion, 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.

This murder mystery with humor is the first book in a new series, Secret Sleuth. In Death on Torrid Avenue and later books, amateur sleuth Sheila returns to dry land in the Midwest, where mysteries abound in her new home in small-town Kentucky.

If you like mysteries about the inner world of writers, set among the insular cruise ship community, where even the sleuth has secrets she’s hiding (and a dog to come in subsequent books), then you’ll love award-winning Patricia McLinn’s newest whodunit series with humor.

Get on board to sail away with crime, clues and memorable characters.

Worth a read / listen

As my first Patricia McLinn book, was definitely worth a read & look forward in reading / listening to her other books. - The unassuming & clever sleuth working with the ships staff & crew, along with some new found friends, pulled me in — Good choice in Betsy Moore as the narrator, well done & good fit for the role
