Peril on the Promenade: A Globetrotter Grannies Mystery (Book 1)

When three retired women meet by chance on a luxury Mediterranean cruise, they're looking forward to scenic ports, gourmet dining, and peaceful relaxation. But Dorothy, Mabel, and Ethel quickly discover that retirement can be more dangerous—and exciting—than they ever imagined in this GOLDEN GIRLS SERIES.

Dorothy Henderson, a former bed-and-breakfast owner with an uncanny ability to read people, Mabel Fitzgerald, a retired librarian whose research skills are legendary, and Ethel McCormick, an ex-emergency room nurse who spots medical inconsistencies like a hawk, become unlikely amateur detectives when a wealthy passenger dies under mysterious circumstances aboard the Serenity of the Seas.

What starts as a suspected heart attack quickly unravels into something far more sinister. When the ship's investigation accepts easy answers, these three senior sleuths refuse to let murder go unsolved. Their quest for justice leads them through the glamorous ports of Barcelona, Monaco, and Florence, uncovering a deadly web of international art theft, prescription drug fraud, and organized crime that spans across Europe.

But as the Globetrotter Grannies dig deeper into the victim's dark secrets, they realize the killer is still aboard their ship—and anyone who gets too close to the truth becomes the next target. With friendship, wit, and decades of life experience as their greatest weapons, they must solve their first murder mystery before the cruise ends and a dangerous criminal escapes forever.

Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries, Louise Penny, and Agatha Christie, this charming series debut proves that the best adventures begin after sixty. Join Dorothy, Mabel, and Ethel as they launch their mystery-solving careers while sailing the most beautiful waters in the world.

"A delightful blend of friendship, intrigue, and Mediterranean magic that will have you cheering for these unstoppable senior sleuths!"
