Mrs. Ginger Gold is taking a cross-Atlantic trip to England to settle her late father's estate. She is accompanied by her friend Hailey Higgins who is traveling with her to attend medical school in London. During the journey, they discover the murder of the ship's captain. Chief Inspector Basil Reed, another passenger on the ship, starts investigating the murder and quickly makes a long list of suspects. When Ginger finds out she is on that list, she decides to help find the murderer before the ship docks in Liverpool.

This is the first book in the Ginger Gold Mystery series. We don't learn to much about Ginger other than she is a war widow and is into fashion. The book alludes to her work for the war effort during WWI, but doesn't explain exactly what she did.

The mystery had a good list of suspects, but was rather easy to figure out. I listened to the audio version of this book. It was narrated by Elizabeth Klett who did a fine job. I will give the next book in the series a try in the near future. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
