In 1890, American heiress Cora Beaumont faces jealousy, scandal and murder aboard an airship to England, teaming up with her future brother-in-law to unmask a killer before her engagement and her life meet a deadly end.
An airship bound for London is thrown off course by a murder on the first night of its transatlantic voyage in this locked-room historical mystery debut, perfect for fans of Deanna Raybourn and Katharine Schellman.
1890. American heiress, Cora Beaumont is celebrating her engagement to Terrance Tristan, the second son of a duke. Their union will solidify Cora''s place in British society and put her in a rare position of power, but as they embark on the Lady Airs maiden voyage to England, Cora soon finds that not everyone in society is accepting of her recent engagement, and tensions fly as high as the airship. When a body is discovered the first night on the ship, with a calling card for Cora on the victim, shes determined to find the killer hidden among the passengers before they come for her next.
As Cora tries to solve the murder without attracting unsavory attention, her fiancés wandering eye may cause even more problems for her position in society. Gossip travels fast aboard the airship and bad news could sink the Lady Air, as well as Cora''s own social status, before they reach their final destination. When more bodies are discovered, Cora teams up with her soon-to-be brother-in-law, Nicholas, as they scour the ship for clues. If she fails, it wont only be her reputation visiting the undertaker.
No one is who they seem in this Gilded Age locked room historical mystery, perfect for fans of And Then There Were None and Alyssa Maxwell.
