I’m writing fiction and will soon have my first cosy mystery for sale on Amazon.
So what’s it about…
Five passengers have died overnight sending hundreds of sleuths attending a crime writer conference on a cruise ship into investigative mode.
Here’s a few more clues about the mystery to be solved.
Molly was meant to be on her honeymoon, but her husband had run away.
Thomas was meant to be preaching, but the bishop had forced him to retire.
Lynette was meant to in Aspen, but her doctor refused to let her fly.
Instead, they’re sailing on a five-day round trip from Sydney to Hobart.
At 5.00am on the fourth day of the cruise, Captain Jonas Strong announces that five passengers have passed overnight.
If this had been a cruise with the usual profile of guests, this news may have caused a temporary flutter of nerves before being forgotten. But the Oceanic Wanderer was hosting a Crime Writers’ Conference with hundreds of amateur sleuths who were now all wondering if there was more to the announcement than what they were being told.
Was there a murderer among them?
