Murder on the Midnight Star - Ada Moncrieff (Paperback) 22-10-2026

*A perfect cozy mystery to curl up with this Christmas* A luxury party sets sail on New Year's Day. But festivities will take a deadly turn... New Year's Day 1939. The luxurious ocean liner, Midnight Star, is partway through its voyage from London to New York. On board, a group of passengers - including investigative reporter Daphne King - have been invited by the enigmatic philanthropist Augustus Bellamy. Once a celebrated archaeologist, Bellamy now curates not only rare artefacts but also extraordinary individuals. Accompanying him to New York are the creme de la creme of the political, artistic and business worlds. But when one of Bellamy's guests is murdered, stabbed with a precious dagger, Daphne finds herself in the role of investigator once more. And just when she thinks she may have pieced together some vital clues, Augustus Bellamy himself falls overboard and dies. Are the two murders connected or is Daphne on the trail of two separate killers? And can she solve both cases before they arrive in New York?
