Board To Death
Book One of The Hy & Drye Mystery Series
Written by Maisie Franklin
Listener Advisory: Language
Getting old doesn’t have to be boring—especially when murder’s on the itinerary.
Hy Reynolds has always been a good listener… whether he should be or not. Eugenia Drye is a widow, and there is very “widow” she doesn’t know about her neighbors. When their intrepid nosiness prompts their exasperated families to mention the “H word”—the home—the plucky pensioners take matters into their own hands and book a freedom cruise into retirement. After all, why shape up when you can ship out?
Life aboard the Photuris is smooth sailing—until a passenger’s drink packs more kick than the chorus girls. Suddenly Hy and Eugenia are shelving their salsa lessons and shuffleboard to follow the trail, and toss the crew’s sanity overboard.
One thing’s certain: murder on the high seas comes with plenty of comedy, chaos, and clue-hunting in Board to Death, the first laugh-out-loud installment in the Hy & Drye Mysteries.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Maisie Franklin believes life’s best mysteries are solved with wit, wine, and just the right splash of snark. A firm believer that trouble pairs best with a full-bodied red, she’s made it her mission to bring readers twisty plots, quirky sleuths, and the kind of small-town scandals that make gossip the town’s second-favorite pastime (after murder, of course).
When she’s not writing fast-paced, laugh-out-loud cozies, Maisie can be found outsmarting crossword puzzles, getting emotionally invested in British baking competitions, or insisting that “just one more chapter” is a valid excuse for staying up way too late. She’s a lifelong mystery buff, an unapologetic pun enthusiast, and the kind of friend who would absolutely help you plot the perfect alibi (strictly hypothetically, of course).
Pour yourself a glass, grab a comfy chair, and dive in—because Maisie’s got a case to crack, a few suspects to interrogate, and at least one exasperated detective to charm along the way.
