March 1930Ship's nurse Maeve Chandler of the luxury liner Queen Victoria is finding out all that dazzles may not be diamonds, as she investigates a sparkling shipboard murder alongside up-and-coming diamantaire Harry Winston. The British luxury liner Queen Victoria is bound from New York to Cherbourg carrying several diamond dealers when one of them, an irascible and miserly old man, is found dead in his First-Class cabin, seated in an armchair with no sign of struggle, his mouth stuffed with diamonds, and the cabin locked from the inside. Traveling with him is his young nephew, who owes an insurmountable amount of cash to an American gangster and has fallen in love with a ship's nurse. Also along for the voyage is a mysterious gunman hired for protection by the uncle only the day before sailing, as well as the uncle's former business partner, feeling constant remorse for the deadly incident that led to their 30-year estrangement. Meanwhile, diamonds of every sort seem to be coming and going aboard the Queen Victoria, except the ones Maeve and Harry are searching for -- along with a killer not afraid to kill again. Second in a series. 415 pages including bonus chapter for next book in series, a reader's guide for book clubs and a lexicon of definitions and people from the era who are mentioned in the book."A delightful cozy mystery."
