Shipped to Slaughter: A Vivien Brandt Mystery

by Gianetta Murray

Vivien's birthday party is cruising toward disaster. And everyone she loves is along for the ride.

When Vivien’s parents present her and husband Geoffrey with an Alaska cruise for her 50th birthday, cultures clash and new alliances are formed as her English and American families come together. But an unwelcome blast from the past leaves Vivien wanting to throttle some of her fellow passengers—until someone else does it first.

Mystery and murder on the high seas pose yet another challenge for Vivien and those she cares for most in this tale of love lost, found, and betrayed.

Because no lifeboat can save you from family.

About the author

Netta writes mysteries with mirth. She has been a technical writer, a knowledge manager, and a librarian, and she now lives in South Yorkshire with her British husband and two cats. The cats are unimpressed by any measure of success achieved by their subject unless it relates to providing them with food and worship.
