š§If you every wished for a mashup of Jane Austenās Catherine Moreland from Northanger Abbey and a Christie-type shipboard murder, youāll want to check out āDeath in a Deck Chairā by K.K. Beck.
šÆWhile āDeath in a Deck Chairā doesnāt have gothic overtones or take place at an abbey, it does feature Iris Cooper, a plain-Jane kind of heroine similar to Catherine Moreland.
š¢Itās the 1920s and Catherine is on an Atlantic crossing when one of the passengers is murdered. Class, generational, and cultural conflicts abound among the diverse passengers on the ship, which is a perfect closed circle mystery setting.Ā
šRead-alike recommendations include more ship-board mysteries (historical and contemporary settings) as well as another āplain Janeā mystery protagonist.
āWhat is your favorite āaverage Janeā mystery?
