SOVEREIGN QUEEN

A magnificent luxury cruise.

An influential billionaire celebrating his sixty-fifth birthday.

More than two thousand passengers.

One perfect murder.

When the opulent cruise liner Sovereign Queen departs New Orleans for an unforgettable voyage across the Caribbean, every guest expects elegance, fine dining, and spectacular sunsets. No one expects a killer to be on board.

Among the passengers is Beatrice Vance, a quietly observant retired botanical archivist whose remarkable gift for noticing the smallest details has solved mysteries long before anyone else realised a crime had been committed.

When a prominent guest is found dead under impossible circumstances, the ship becomes an isolated prison surrounded by thousands of miles of open sea. Every passenger is a suspect. Every conversation hides another secret. Every elegant smile may conceal a deadly motive.

As fear spreads through the floating palace, Beatrice must untangle a web of wealth, betrayal, family conflict, ambition, and revenge before the murderer strikes again.

Sovereign Queen is a classic locked-room mystery set aboard a glamorous international cruise liner, combining the timeless charm of traditional detective fiction with modern suspense and unforgettable characters.
