Description

Murder on the Mauretania is a captivating Edwardian mystery that follows the story of two private detectives, posing as passengers, on the maiden voyage of the luxurious Cunard Line ship, the Mauretania. In November 1907, they become embroiled in a complex case of murder, which may be linked to a record shipment of gold bullion on board. The Mauretania, the largest moving structure of its time, sets sail from Liverpool to New York, but the voyage proves to be a tragic one. A crew member is rescued from being washed overboard, but one of the first-class passengers meets a similar fate. As the detectives investigate, they must unravel the motive behind the murder before it's too late. Originally published under a different title, this mystery has been relaunched for a new generation of readers, offering a fresh perspective on a fascinating era in history.
