Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
A short prolog, dated 1896, provides historical reference and anonymous plans for murder and deception at sea. The narrative turns to the honeymoon voyage of New York police detective Matt Devlin and new socialite wife Brooke. When an investment broker acquaintance of theirs goes overboard on the first night, Devlin immediately suspects murder. At first, he refuses to become involved, but does so after the ship's detective arrests the wrong man. Class distinctions, incipient feminist yearnings, and ship descriptions paint the period. A pleasant enough read, but nothing fancy.

This review is from: No Honeymoon For Death: A Gilded Age Mystery (Hardcover)
This book was a treat to read. The author filled her pages with reasonable circumstances to support her story and created a diverse and believable group of characters. The mystery wasn't too complicated, but enough to keep one reading to the book's satisfying end. I immediately looked for and bought all of Mary Kruger's books I could find and look forward to happy hours of more good reading by a very fine author.

This review is from: No Honeymoon For Death: A Gilded Age Mystery (Hardcover)
The second in "Gilded Age" mysteries by Mary Krueger this is still a stand alone book. I am almost 70 and after I read it I gave it to a college student. We both enjoyed it. It concerns a passenger going overboard and the attempts to find the perpetrator.
