The Silent Film Star Murders
Embarking on another transatlantic crossing in 1928, merry widow Lady Lucy Revelstoke welcomes new guests aboard the Victoriana, including Renata Harwood, star of the silver screen, and Stella Burke, her bitter protégée-turned-rival. Everyone expects these leading ladies to serve up delicious drama over dinner, but true tragedy strikes when a young woman goes missing. Has she been seduced by a cad? Are they hiding in second class, or has the poor girl thrown herself overboard?
Then a crew member is brutally murdered, and questions arise about just who the intended victim may have been.
Lucy and her pickpocket-turned-maid Elf set out to investigate intricate relationships and scandalous shared histories, determined to uncover if and how a theatrical rivalry can explode into sensational murder.

Campbell does a good job recreating the kind of classic English puzzle mystery Agatha Christie excelled at right down to the lockedroom setting on board a cruise ship Since this is the same setting as the previous book some readers might cavil that the author is repeating herself but her variation on a cosy whodunnit nevertheless sports a colourful cast of characters and a glitzy milieu with some wellplaced commentary on class disparity and celebrity culture
