Meg Butler sets sail on the Grand Voyager on a luxury world cruise, eager to visit 30 countries before she's 30. But she hasn't planned on running into murder!
The ship is hosting a Bingo tournament for the length of the cruise. Several passengers are competing for the grand prize which is rumored to be in six figures. Meg runs into a friendly older man who boasts of being a skilled player. He has developed a fool proof strategy that is guaranteed to win him big money. Meg is warmed by his affectionate manner toward her and feels he is the father figure she has always yearned for.
Disaster strikes when Meg's pal drops dead in the middle of a Bingo game. Although the ship authorities declare his death an accident, Meg believes he was murdered. Unfortunately, she is ignored since the man's wife accepts what the security chief says and is ready to move on. But Meg will not give up so easily.
Aided by friends old and new, she starts interviewing the suspects, trying hard to find a motive. Was it money, love or revenge? Or something more sinister? Meg risks her own life as she scours every corner of the ship to find the killer.
Meanwhile, there are new ports to visit as the ship sails through the picturesque South Pacific. And Meg is nursing a big secret her friends know nothing about.
