          Summary

In the brand-new novel in the USA Today bestselling series, Jessica Fletcher takes a cruise through some rough…and deadly-seas. Jessica Fletcher has always wanted to take a transatlantic voyage on the legendary Queen Mary II. Now, she's finally getting her chance.

She's hoping to fly to London, spend a few quiet days visiting and then depart on the high seas. When she calls her old friend, Scotland Yard Inspector George Sutherland, to let him know she's on her way, he mentions the case of an enormously valuable diamond that was stolen from its wealthy owner, who was murdered during the heist. Jessica is well aware of the story. But, when she finally boards her dream ship, the deadly mystery appears to have followed her up the gangplank.

Now, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, she must try to enjoy the sumptuous seaborne surroundings while she tries to find a priceless diamond…and the killer desperate enough to take a life for it.

My Thoughts:  I really liked this book.  I watched the whole Murder She Wrote series on TV and Jessica Fletcher is one of my favorite characters!
