Murder in Burgundy

THE PLEASURE BARGE CRUISED FROM DIJON TO LYON. DEATH WASN'T ON THE SCHEDULE...

Michael "Poppa" O'Connor, the famous American musical agent, had no sense of reserve. Everyone on board the Jacqueline was privy to the startling news that his first wife, a Frenchwoman, had been pregnant when she left him. And Poppa's booming voice left no doubt of his superstitious refusal to make a will to provide for his step-children.

When Poppa took a near-fatal tumble into the canal, his notorious flair for the dramatic ensured that no one--from his honored guests to his devoted second wife, Molly--took seriously his claim that he was pushed. Even Jane Winfield and Andrew Quentin, commissioned to write Poppa's biography, agreed that Poppa's fall must have been the result of dizziness. Poppa did have a bad heart.

But days later, Poppa was dead from an overdose of heart medicine--and his dear Molly was found bludgeoned with a heavy brass candlestick. Now, with the help of the French police, Jane and Andrew would set an elaborate trap--to catch a killer aboard the Jacqueline!
