“The more time I spend on board this cruise ship, the more I feel like I’m living in some sort of soap opera,” said Brigitte, stuffing goulash into her mouth in the officers’ restaurant. Brigitte and Bernard had waited for Sarah to finish surgery following her delay. “I told you before, men are scum.”

Bernard put his hand on his heart in feigned pain. “I admit some men are, but some women can be unpleasant too, especially ones from France.” He sat back in his chair, puffing out his chest in mock victory.

“Stop it, you two, this is serious. That poor woman has been a prisoner in her own marriage.”

“You’re right. He deserves everything he gets from the sound of it.” Bernard was a sensitive man who loved his family dearly and Sarah knew he was just as horrified as she was by the unfolding events. She patted his hand.

“So what happens now?” asked Brigitte.

“As luck would have it, one of the dancers finished her contract this morning and left the ship to stay with her family in Estonia. Gwen spoke with Waverley and Rosa and they have arranged for Shirley to move in with her old roommate, another dancer from the troupe, who is also one of the girls she was out with this morning. Waverley is going to tell the guard outside the room she was sharing with Gordon to bring him to his office for questioning while Shirley goes to pack her things to prevent a scene. He will then be told what has happened. She’ll be safe while he remains under house arrest.”

“There is one good thing that’s come out of this,” said Bernard with a smirk on his face.

“That is?” asked Brigitte.

“Murder solved without the need for Rachel.” He smiled triumphantly.

“Yes, I suppose he is the most likely candidate, and he certainly had the motive. What a horrible brother, though. No doubt Waverley will be in his element if he can wrap the case up.”

“As will the rest of us,” said Brigitte. “I really don’t like the idea of murderers roaming around the ship.”

“Me neither,” said Sarah, quietly. “I just hope we’re not barking up the wrong tree.”

They looked at each other before Bernard raised a glass. “A toast. To no more murders.”

“To no more murders.” They clinked glasses in celebration.
