Cozy Mystery

Samantha, Jo, Eddy and Walt are finally taking a cruise they won at a murder mystery weekend. However, not all of them are excited to be going on the upcoming trip and would prefer to stay in their familiar surroundings at Sage Gardens. But with a little persuading the four retirees agree to go on the cruise and are expecting to escape the cool weather, and enjoy a vacation filled with sun, sea and relaxation.

But it’s not all smooth sailing when only some of the friends land up boarding the cruise ship and a passenger goes missing. Then things go from bad to dire when not only does the missing passenger turn up dead, but they are in the path of a ferocious storm and they are stuck on the ship with the murderer. They find themselves caught in a high-stakes murder mystery.  Instead of enjoying a relaxing cruise, they must use their diverse experiences to find the murderer.

They head straight into tumultuous waters and find themselves in serious danger. Will the ‘Sage Garden Sleuths’ find the murderer before there are more victims, possibly themselves? Or will this be their final voyage?
