What to expect
'A brilliant modern cosy . . . pure class from start to finish.' Ian Moore, bestselling author of
Death and Croissants
A scientist nobody liked has been murdered on the Arctic ice . . .
Meet the Blanchard twins:
Rose is practical, sharp, and protective. Specialty: manta rays.
Finn is too sweet and kind for his own good. Specialty: sharks.
Rose and Finn are looking for sharks on the sea bed. When they return to their ship, the
Dauphin, they make a terrible discovery: their colleague has been murdered on the ice - with a harpoon that should never have been there. Everyone else on the luxury cruise ship - the wealthy passengers, the researchers hard at work, the tight-knit crew and their strangely calm Captain - were all aboard at the time, so they are all under suspicion. Rose and Finn were the only two at sea, and they're miles from anywhere, so it's up to them to investigate.
On scientific problems, they are a brilliant team - but can the Blanchard twins solve a murder?

Really enjoyed this book. The first I've read from this author. Great murder mystery and I enjoyed the narration.

Book started off slow, but only due I think to setting scene and some of the characters. Once past this point, it’s a good listen, I won’t say it’s a real psychological thriller, but a decent first attempt at a crime novel. And worth the listen. Narration is good, with narrator covering several accents

A wonderfully cosy whodunnit, with a cast of bombastic characters. The narrator has a pleasant voice and her subtle attempts at Scandi inflections were also lovely.
