About this ebook
A scientist nobody liked has been murdered on the Arctic ice . . .
'A brilliant modern cosy.' Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants
'Fun ahoy!' Orlando Murrin, author of Knife Skills for Beginners
'How can something so damn cold be so damn cosy?' Oskar Jensen, author of Helle and Death
'Clever, quirky and irresistibly fun.' Jessica Bull, author of Jane Austen Investigates
'Written so beautifully, the queerness shines through.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review
Meet the Blanchard twins:
Rose is practical, sharp, and protective. Specialty: manta rays.
Finn is too sweet and kind for his own good. Specialty: sharks.
Rose and Finn are looking for sharks on the sea bed. When they return to their ship, the Dauphin, they make a terrible discovery: their colleague has been murdered on the ice - with a harpoon that should never have been there. Everyone else on the luxury cruise ship - the wealthy passengers, the researchers hard at work, the tight-knit crew and their strangely calm Captain - were all aboard at the time, so they are all under suspicion. Rose and Finn were the only two at sea, and they're miles from anywhere, so it's up to them to investigate.
On scientific problems, they are a brilliant team - but can the Blanchard twins solve a murder?
'Crisp and cosy . . . like Murder She Wrote in the Arctic with sharks!!!' Kitty Murphy, author of Death in Heels
