On her maiden voyage as Assistant Cruise Director for Sovereign River Cruises, Mary Mead is ready for a relaxing tour along Portugal's Douro River aboard the MV Duke of Sussex. Hosting a colourful array of guests-from fitness clubs owner and his girlfriend to a newly engaged girl celebrating her hen party with friends, a travel blogger, a history professor, and a pair of inquisitive widows-Mary anticipates a peaceful journey of scenic tours, wine tastings, and cultural excursions. But when a murder occurs, the tranquil cruise is shattered.
With drug smuggling, stolen handbags, and cryptic clues including tattooed ankles, empty champagne bottles, and disappearing red backpacks, Mary finds herself drawn into a sinister mystery that no guidebook could have prepared her for. Teaming up with the enigmatic Superintendent Carlos Colombo from the PolÃcia Judiciária and the charming Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman from Saint Marie, Mary must untangle a web of secrets and lies.
With the help of sharp-eyed fellow passengers Jane Stanhope and Vera Marple, Mary races against time to catch a killer hiding among them. As the Douro River winds through historic towns and vineyards, Mary uncovers more than just the local culture-she unearths dark truths that will challenge her wits and her nerve.
Can Mary piece together the clues before the killer strikes again?
Death on the Douro is a thrilling mystery full of intrigue, international flair, and a cast of unforgettable characters. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, river cruises, and armchair travel.
