đ§If you every wished for a mashup of Jane Austenâs Catherine Moreland from Northanger Abbey and a Christie-type shipboard murder, youâll want to check out âDeath in a Deck Chairâ by K.K. Beck.
đŻWhile âDeath in a Deck Chairâ doesnât have gothic overtones or take place at an abbey, it does feature Iris Cooper, a plain-Jane kind of heroine similar to Catherine Moreland.
đ˘Itâs 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.Â
đRead-alike recommendations include more ship-board mysteries (historical and contemporary settings) as well as another âplain Janeâ mystery protagonist.
âWhat is your favorite âaverage Janeâ mystery?
