The Empress Murders

<p><b>'A tense and claustrophobic mystery told with startling wit' Tim Minchin</b><br><b>'Swerves from cosy Christie homage into something far more brutal' <i>Guardian</i></b><br><br>It's 1925, and the <i>Empress of Australia</i> sails toward New York with a full passenger manifest. When a body is discovered onboard, Inspector Archie Daniels begins investigating - but one murder becomes two, then three. Racing against time to prevent disaster, Daniels realizes no one is safe, from entitled first-class passengers to those deemed 'dregs of empire' below deck. With nowhere to run on the open Atlantic, the killer remains among them. <i>The Empress Murders</i> delivers a razor-sharp, mind-bendingly clever whodunnit that doubles as a bloodthirsty mystery and scathing examination of British Empire excess as its sun begins setting.</p>
