Death Sails Backwards on the Aurora
A 1930s Cruise Ship Cozy Mystery Told in Reverse

About this book:

Step aboard the RMS Aurora for a voyage where the truth sails backward. In this 1930s‑era cozy mystery, ship’s detective Aloysius Finch works from the final docking at Southampton all the way back to the moment the deadly poison was poured, piecing together clues that unfurl like a film running in reverse. Every chapter reveals a new layer of deceit—blackmail, jealous lovers, a missing carnation, and a ship full of suspects whose alibis crumble as the tide recedes.

Experience the glamour and grit of a luxury liner at its zenith: crystal chandeliers, silk gowns, champagne‑filled ballrooms, and the ever‑present smell of sea‑salt and danger. As Finch and Inspector Meadows peel back the layers of lies, you’ll walk the promenade deck under a thick fog, hear the echo of a murdered star’s final gasp, and discover how a seemingly tragic accident was meticulously staged.

If you love puzzles that demand you think like a detective who knows the end before the beginning, *Death Sails Backwards on the Aurora* delivers a fresh, addictive twist on the classic whodunit. Dive in, and let the mystery pull you backward into a world where every clue is a step toward the truth—and every truth is a step toward the killer.
