Book cover for A First-Class Murder by Keith Finney, Book 4 in the Rex and the Dowager series. A coupe glass containing a clear liquid sits centre top, with a splash of red suggesting blood or wine. The title appears in bold white Art Deco lettering on a bright blue textured background, framed by gold geometric corner details and a decorative gold divider. The series name appears in a gold triangle at the foot of the cover.

Step aboard the Britannic Star, a luxurious ocean liner setting sail from Southampton to New York in December 1922. What begins as an elegant voyage for the elite quickly transforms into a gripping tale of deception and intrigue. Join Rex and his formidable guardian, the Dowager Duchess of Drakeford, as they find themselves entangled in a web of secrets amidst the stormy Atlantic. Accompanied by Detective Inspector Whipple from Scotland Yard, they anticipate a journey of refinement, but a shocking murder shatters their expectations. With the ship isolated in the vast ocean and no escape in sight, Whipple must navigate through a maze of hidden motives and simmering rivalries while Rex and the Duchess uncover the dark truths lurking behind the polished façades of their fellow passengers. As a second death sends shockwaves through the first-class cabins, the stakes rise and time runs out. Will they unravel the mystery before the Britannic Star reaches its destination? A First-Class Murder is the fourth installment in the Rex and Dowager series, a must-read for fans of classic whodunits and the golden age of mystery.

This is the first book I have read by this author. I enjoyed this book which kept you guessing right to the end. The main characters were good and the interplay between them was amusing in parts. I look forward to more in this series.
