Few details are known about the rumored German spy the duo have been tasked with identifying among fellow passengers, but new troubles unfold once wealthy newlywed Vanessa FitzSimmons announces the sudden disappearance of her husband at sea...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMiles Van de Meter, the man Vanessa rushed to marry in Monte Carlo, has allegedly vanished into thin air along with his luggage. Redvers guesses the shifty heiress may be weaving tall tales for fun between flutes of champagne, yet Jane isn’t convinced—not after the stunning murder of a trusted acquaintance sends them into uncharted waters. Facing two dangerous mysteries and a boat load of suspects, Jane must navigate a claustrophobic quest for answers before the culprits can slip from her grasp on land...or, worse, ensure she and Redvers never reach their destination.\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003ePraise for the June Wunderly Mysteries:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e “Because Jane is a modern woman, she uses her own smarts and her own skills to eventually solve the crime and nab the culprit.
