A busman's holiday

As Shanti and Jane de Silva take a cruise ship to Egypt for a vacation the murder of one of the Cabin Class guests, Charles Pashley, means that William Petrie and Lady Caroline call for his assistance to solve the case before word gets out and panic sets in with the other guests onboard.

The victim is a gossip columnist and critic for the papers, and there's more than one passenger with a reason to dislike the man who is not above blackmail himself.

Is it the overbearing Mrs Pilkington or her much put upon companion Mrs Meadows? Canon Ryder the quiet and unassuming clergyman who seems to be avoiding everyone? Or maybe the dashing widow Diana March recently engaged to Arthur Chiltern now on their way to England to meet his family? Or what about the romantic novelist Venetia de Vere who seems to have formed a romantic entanglement with one of the crew?

Dark secrets will be teased out by the patient Inspector de Silva and it's going to be a last minute race to capture the guilty party.
