Epigraph
I know I was writing stories when I was five. I don't know what I did before that. Just loafed, I suppose.

Book description
First-class travel has never been so treacherous!

A Transatlantic voyage proves deadly when Mrs. Xavier Stayton and her loyal friend, Lucy, journey aboard the famed RMS Olivia.

Jewel thieves, stowaways and fierce storms are the least of Mrs. X’s concerns when another passenger is killed in the neighboring cabin.

One clue leads to another, until Mrs. X is convinced that she’s solved the dastardly crime.

As a mighty storm assaults the luxury liner, will our heroine’s theory sink or swim?

What do the critics have to say?

“I love any book featuring seaman! This novel is a true treat.”
-- Mr. Jack, the author’s business manager.

“The parts of the story that I read were very interesting. I’m not sure how it ends, I mislaid the book and haven’t found it yet.”
--Great Aunt Dotty, relative of the author.

“Rubbish, the entire book is rubbish, penned by an unhinged young woman. Mrs. Xavier Stayton is a danger to the entire transportation industry.”
--Captain Styles, Master of the RMS Olivia. [retrieved 7/5/2016 from Amazon.com]
