Those who can't, teach. So goes the adage, but sometimes, even a first-rate ghostwriter and successful mystery author needs to make a buck. Even if that means setting foot on a cruise ship, something she vowed she'd never do. To top it off, the \"Get Lit Cruise\" is being organized by Payton Garrett, a bestselling author--and the ghostwriter's long-time frenemy from back in their MFA days. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver the years, Payton has gained a wife while ditching her journalist husband--who is also on board. And she's acquired a rabid following who eagerly snapped up the invitations sent to a select few. The guests, all female, will receive personalized instruction from experts, while basking in Payton's reflected glow. . . . Between mentoring, flirting with Payton's ex, and taking bets on how long before someone reenacts \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e's \"I'm flying!\" scene, there's plenty to keep a ghostwriter occupied. But there's one activity nobody expected: solving a murder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen an attendee is found dead under suspicious circumstances and two others suffer symptoms of poisoning, there are numerous motives and suspects to choose from. But could it be that the victim wasn't even the intended target? As the body count rises along with tensions, no one is safe--except, perhaps, a killer whose scruples have long abandoned ship. And of course, like every well-plotted mystery, this one has an extra twist . . .\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKemper Donovan\u003c\/b\u003e is an acclaimed author and host of the \"All About Agatha\" podcast.
