Without a Clue

"[This] fun romance has something for everyone: a large and vibrant cast of characters, a bookish storyline, a cozy locked-boat mystery, a slow-burn love story, comedic hijinks, and a dash of thrills." ~ Library Journal, starred review

A laugh-out-loud rom-com wrapped in a whodunit, this high-seas adventure proves that sometimes the best love stories start with a little murder.

Penelope Mae Dupont has one superpower: keeping her cool. That is essential when you're the personal assistant to renowned mystery author Hugh Griffin. But when Pip organizes a luxury book cruise featuring the Fabulous Seven, a glittering cast of seven bestselling authors known for both their brilliance and their drama, her trademark composure starts slipping. One boat. Seven egos. Hundreds of fans. What could possibly go wrong?

Well . . . murder, for starters.

On day two, Hugh is found dead, and the cruise security team proves utterly incompetent. Stranded in the middle of the Atlantic, Pip realizes that if anyone is going to solve the case, it will have to be her. So with her friend and ally Nash, the dreamy Western author who is just as rugged as the cowboys he writes about, she puts her amateur sleuthing skills to the test.

As Pip and Nash navigate an ocean of secrets, shocking twists, and one too many red herrings, she must decide whether she's meant to stay behind the scenes or finally step into the spotlight . . . and maybe find love along the way.

In the world of mystery and love, sometimes you have to risk going overboard to find the truth.
