In the second adventure for the Agatha Christie Book Club, the good friends take a luxury cruise on a replica steamship, the SS Orient—a real ship that once sailed between England and Australia 

Naturally, they expect little more than a glamorous voyage back in time. What they get has eerie echoes of the original Orient Express, including a passenger dead in their bed, a threatening note and more clues than you can poke a blood-soaked dagger at. 

When a second passenger vanishes overboard in the dead of night soon after, the team suspect they have a madman on their hands and abandon their shuffleboard to investigate. 

The problem is, just like Hercule Poirot, they have very little time, few mod cons, and enough red herrings to fill a seafood platter. It doesn't help that the entire ship is rallying behind the leading suspect Captain Van Tussi, a man with friends in high places who may—or may not—be taking everyone for a ride. 

Jump aboard for a fun and fast-paced adventure with book club mates Alicia, Lynette, Missy, Perry, Anders and Claire! And look out for the mysterious new member of the club…
