Professor Cait Morgan and Bud Anderson have finally said 'I do'. To celebrate, they set sail on a romantic Hawaiian honeymoon cruise and, for nearly two weeks, the mystery solving newlyweds are worry-free. But then a man drops dead in the games room right in front of them and Cait and Bud can't help but lend their expertise. To the others in the games room, the sudden death of Tommy Trussler-the ship's onboard card-game tutor-appears to have been from natural causes. But the professor suspects something much more sinister. With only two days left at sea-and thousands of possible suspects-the head of security is eager to solve the case and invites Cait and Bud to aid in the investigation. But the unique circumstances of an at-sea investigation mean their involvement cannot be official, and Cait must lean on her charm to conduct her own covert interviews. Complete with laugh-out-loud moments and mouth-watering descriptions of the ship's cuisine, the case of the The Corpse with the Diamond Hand will once again have you marvelling at Cait's cleverness as she brings another murderer to justice.

Reviews for The Corpse with the Diamond Hand

A delight for fans of the classic mystery ... Cait Morgan, with her reading cheats, short legs, and too-tight formal gown along with her new husband make a pair of believable and very real sleuths. --Vicky Delany, national bestselling author of the Lighthouse Library mystery series-- (10/13/2015) A fun, mind-provoking cozy mystery --Nadaness in Motion blog-- (10/19/2015) Brilliant writing, Cathy Ace. Those looking for an interesting, funny, intelligent mystery series need look no further. --Bubble Bath Books blog-- (10/19/2015) Cathy Ace crafts a good, well plotted tale. --MysteriesEtc blog-- (10/18/2015) Cathy Ace has a wonderful gift for writing a smart mystery that keeps me guessing throughout. This is one of those books that once you pick it up, you won't want to put it down. --Brooke Blogs-- (10/22/2015) There are so many suspects and motives, so many possibilities ... I would recommend The Corpse with the Diamond Hand for all readers who want to travel into the mystery of murder on the high seas. --Fundinmental blog-- (10/15/2015) Want to know how Cait Morgan's day began just before she encountered The Corpse with the Diamond Hand? Check out this exclusive prequel on Dru's Books Musings.-- (10/12/2015)
