Synopsis


“Another deftly crafted mystery by the master of the genre…” Midwest Book Review
“Clever and entertaining, you’ll love this charming Golden Age mystery series. And the fashion is to die for!” - Molly C. Quinn, actress, Castle
 It's 1923 and young war widow fashionista Ginger Gold makes a cross-Atlantic journey with her companion Haley Higgins to London England to settle her father's estate. When the ship's captain is found dead, Ginger is only too happy to lend her assistance to the handsome Chief Inspector Basil Reed.
The SS Rosa delivers a convincing array of suspects - the wife, the mistress, a jealous crew mate. To Ginger's dismay, her name has been added to the list! With a little help from Ginger's dog Boss, Ginger and Haley navigate the clues (those wartime operative skills come in handy.) They must solve the case and clear Ginger's name before they dock--and oh, whatever shall she wear!
"A fascinating introduction to a character that will rival Miss Fisher in the cozy genre set in the period between world wars."

I am happy to hear that Murder on the SS Rosa is a prequel to a series of cozy mysteries featuring Ginger Gold and her friend Haley Harrigan.
