Overview

The iconic Polly Pepper, musical comedy superstar of yesteryear, is experiencing a bit of a professional dry spell—she can barely keep her bank account afloat, let alone her career. So when the nefarious Laura Crawford, scene-stealing former cast mate and perpetual diva, proposes a Polly Pepper Playhouse reunion cruise, Polly is on board, full-steam ahead. But she soon realizes that Hollywood on the high-seas will be nothing short of a shipwreck, especially after Laura is found dead, slain by the Season Six DVD of The Polly Pepper Playhouse box set. Now, if Polly can't solve this maritime mystery, a clever killer could send Polly's whole career—and even her life—overboard.

"Polly proves once again that she's no slouch as a detective." —Publishers Weekly

"The plot is well-crafted. . .will keep the reader guessing until the end." —Romantic Times

Publishers Weekly

Near the start of Jordan's giddy, gossipy fourth Polly Pepper mystery (after 2009's A Talent for Murder), “international entertainment celebrity” Polly—along with her loyal son, Tim, and patient companion, Placenta—embarks from San Francisco on a Polly Pepper Playhouse reunion cruise aboard the Intacti (an anagram of Titanic). The “Kool Krooz” is scarcely under way before someone slashes the throat of Laura Crawford, a showboating former co-star, with a sharpened DVD from season six of the Polly Pepper Playhouse boxed set. The unsinkable Polly is in rare form as she tries to figure out who murdered the hateful Laura—and avoid becoming the killer's next victim before the Intacti reaches Alaska. Celebrity has-beens, their fickle fans, eccentric crew members, and various oddballs add to the fun. Armed with plenty of champagne, Polly proves once again that she's no slouch as a detective. (June)
