About this book

When Audrey Rose and Thomas set sail for New York aboard the luxurious RMS Etruria, they're thrilled to find a mesmerizing circus troupe entertaining the ship's elite—until young women start vanishing and gruesome murders rock the vessel. As the body count climbs and the mystery deepens, Audrey Rose finds herself racing against time to uncover the killer's identity, especially when clues suggest someone she loves might be the next victim. With the ship isolated at sea and danger lurking around every corner, she'll need all her detective skills and Thomas's steady support to catch a murderer before the final, chilling act unfolds. This is a gothic, blood-pumping mystery that perfectly blends romance, intrigue, and the deliciously eerie atmosphere of a floating death trap.

Dark Victorian mystery with slow-burn tension and forbidden attraction. Deep orchestral strings, gothic indie, and sultry jazz whispers. Atmospheric dread meets electric chemistry. Think moody period drama with pulsing danger beneath elegant surfaces.
