Publisher Description
More gripping cosy crime from Helen Cox, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Vera and Faith Martin
Private investigator Kitt Hartley and her twin sister Rebecca are preparing for a holiday in Scotland when cruise ship entertainer Errol Jackson appears at the door. Errol breaks the news that Bryce Griffin, a former smuggler and an old friend of Kitt's, has been murdered: his body found washed up by a lighthouse, bearing a gunshot wound.
Kitt persuades Rebecca to cancel their trip and, together with Kitt's assistant Grace Edwards and best friend Evie Bowes, books onto the next cruise to Norway to help with the ongoing murder investigation.
Aboard the cruise ship Kitt, Grace and Rebecca encounter burlesque dancers, casino dealers, drag queens and a talking parrot named Skittles - seemingly the only witness to Bryce's death. But what dark secrets are lurking below deck? Can Kitt catch the killer before it's too late?

Not as good
Sad to say but this is not on par with the other books in the series
A Body Near the Lighthouse - Helen Cox
I usually enjoy books from this series but this time round the whole story felt laboured, bordering on the absurd. It was interesting having Kitt’s twin, Rebecca join the team but I grew tired of the repeated references to how giddy Grace is with too much repeated explanation of the various characters personality traits. Not the best offering from this series.
