Murder On "B" Deck

  • Vincent Starrett


The perfect beach read, this classic Golden Age murder mystery is for fans of the British Library Crime Classics series. When a murder occurs aboard a 1920s transatlantic ocean liner ship, nobody is safe.

A classic locked-room mystery from a master of the genre, set on a 1920s cruise ship. Everyone is a suspect – and anyone could be the next victim.

When a beautiful countess is found strangled in her cabin aboard the luxury liner Latakia, scientist, explorer, and former intelligence officer Walter Ghost tries to find the killer. He has a taste for puzzles and a habit of walking into trouble, but now he’s trapped in a game he doesn’t know if he can win.

In the close quarters of ‘B’ deck, with a group of paranoid passengers, Walter must solve this one quickly – and find the killer before someone else gets scratched off the passenger list.
