About the book
'Delightful...packed with wit and culinary digressions.' Sunday Times
'Orlando Murrin knows exactly how to satisfy a reader’s appetite!' Lesley Kara
'A cocktail of wit, spicy observation, intrigue and the delicious unknown.' Jane Corry
'Should give Richard Osman a run for his money!' C.J. Carver
Worse things happen at sea…
Paul Delamare has been roped into accompanying his old friend on a luxury cruise aboard the magnificent superyacht Maldemer. It’s all plain sailing until his friend’s priceless necklace is stolen, and everyone falls under suspicion.
As Paul races to catch the thief, the ship begins to drift off-course, veering into the storm-lashed mid-Atlantic. Then one of the passengers is found dead in mysterious circumstances, in a pool of coffee and surrounded by cake crumbs.
It’s all hands on deck to catch the killer, but Paul soon discovers guests and crew are harbouring deadly secrets. And if he can’t get to the bottom of the mystery soon, he’ll be sleeping with the fishes.
Praise for Orlando Murrin:
'If Agatha Christie were to go on MasterChef, this novel would be the result.' Clare Pooley
'A deliciously dark slice of murder and mystery. Funny and fun, frightening and charming' Chris Whitaker
'I loved the combination of crime and cookery - and how Orlando uses the one to enrich the other (and vice versa).' Andrew Taylor
