Description

At sixty-eight, Baltimore widow Muriel Blossom finally says yes to a long-awaited overseas cruise—only to discover that paradise has its own rules, and someone is willing to break them. As Muriel becomes entangled in theft and a sudden murder, she clings to the small comforts of travel while trying to make sense of who she can trust. When she finds a winning lottery ticket in a parking lot, her plans for a new life collide with the danger closing in around her, turning a vacation into a relentless test of nerve. With Laura Lippman’s signature blend of sharp social observation and suspenseful, character-driven plotting, this novel explores reinvention, the stories we tell ourselves, and the lengths people will go to protect what they’ve taken.
