Overview: Meet Lucy Tamerlane, Cruise Ship Librarian and amateur sleuth extraordinaire, circa 1950!
Years of working the Answer Desk at the New York Public Library and as cryptographer during World War II have sharpened Miss Tamerlane’s brain for mysteries and puzzles. Nearing retirement, she takes a position running the elegant—though poorly stocked—library of an opulent world-cruising ocean liner, the SS Miss Liberty, as it makes its maiden voyage out of New York harbor and heads for England. But no sooner does the ship reach open water when several of its passengers begin to succumb to a mysterious malady which looks suspiciously like poisoning. On a vessel with over six hundred passengers and crew, there is no lack of suspects: The august, but stone-faced captain, or his bumbling purser, Philpott Standish? The ship’s worn-down refugee doctor Water Torbruk? Or perhaps Esperanto instructor Leandro Blas or the Marchioness of Bournestable? The solution turns out to be even more complex than Lucy realizes, touching on events in the post-war world at large, a world that in 1951 seems ripe for change. Maiden Voyage is the first in a series of mysteries involving Lucy Tamerlane and the Miss Liberty, as they make their way to numerous and exotic international ports of call
