Cruising to Death Maryellen Winkler

Intrepid amateur sleuth, Emily Menotti, is having fun on her first Caribbean cruise along with new friends from the Wayward Sisters book club. But, as they head out of New York City for warmer climes, a recently married friend
goes missing and another becomes ill.

With the help of her clairsentient pal, Melinda, Emily starts investigating. Yet even a séance, guided by Melinda, reveals more old secrets than new clues.


Set amid the tropical backdrops of St. Thomas, St. Kitts, and Tortola, this mystery has motives aplenty, including an ex-husband who balks at paying alimony, a former high school boyfriend now married to another of the
group, and the ongoing resentment of two unmarried friends.


Join Emily as she solves the mystery of the missing newlywed on a chilling cruise with some uninvited passengers: jealousy, revenge, and death.

Emily Menotti is a detective like no other. An ordinary woman who has an extraordinary mind and some extraordinary friends. Are the ghosts of the murdered reaching out to her or is she merely in the wrong place at the right time?

Accompany Emily as she tenaciously investigates the elusive truth in these captivating whodunits.

Join Emily on her first two adventures:
The Disappearance of Darcie Malone
The young woman was never found. Thirty years later, Emily hears an old man singing, she turns, but no one is there...


What Killed Rosie?
Rosie died of a heart attack five years ago, so who did Emily see in the laundromat doorway that warm May evening? Is it Rosie's ghost demanding revenge? Or is someone perpetuating a hoax?
