When a glamorous cruise turns deadly, one sharp-eyed pet sitter and an aristocratic cat must untangle blackmail, deception, and murder before the killer disappears at the next port. Marley Quinn expected luxury, light babysitting, and a pay check when she boarded the Azure Belle to care for Sir Percival, the famously pampered cat of movie star Celeste Lavigne. Instead, a tense encounter in the ship’s solarium is followed by a woman’s sudden disappearance, a bracelet hidden in a locked cabin, and whispers of an overboard accident that don’t quite ring true. As fog closes in around the elegant vessel, Marley finds herself drawn into a web of secrets among the passengers and crew: a polished ship official with too much to hide, a charming lecturer whose story keeps shifting, a celebrity guarding a dangerous past, and a missing woman who was blackmailing the wrong people. With only her instincts, a notebook, and Sir Percival’s uncanny nose for trouble, Marley must uncover what really happened before the Azure Belle reaches port—and the truth vanishes with it. Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with clever heroines, glamorous settings, quirky animal sidekicks, and twisty, page-turning suspense, this charming seaside whodunit delivers murder, mystery, and just the right touch of feline attitude.
