The Singing Sleuth Crosses the Pond ReviewD.B. Barton hails from Jacksonville, Florida, but grew up in New York City. Her award winning "The Singing Sleuth" series includes three prior books to THE SINGING SLEUTH. She is an avid traveler and conducts writing workshops at local libraries and book clubs.
Alec DunBarton, investigator extraordinaire, and his new bride, Paige Anderson, have just been summoned to the Centaurus, a cruise ship steaming from the eastern Mediterranean to Fort Lauderdale. Alec and Paige have just tied the knot, and the summons comes at an awkward time. But they soldier into the homicide investigation anyway, which involves a doctor who has been killed "a la Goldfinger" style. She was found nude, garroted by a picture-hanging wire, and sprayed with bronze paint. Calliope Pictures is also aboard the Centaurus filming a picture that is a remake off an old chestnut with glamorous actors who have plenty to hide:
"Explaining that he could only make an educated guess as to why Greene and Valentine were arguing, Douglas related, 'It seems the prop master came on board with an old back injury that he's been treating with hydrocodone. There was a note in his file, written by Priestley stating he was out of painkillers and had requested a bottle from the infirmary. She gave him eight, 5/500 tablets of Vicodin on Saturday afternoon and warned no more would be forthcoming.'
'Hydrocodone is addictive, isn't it?'
Douglas confirmed. 'I'm afraid so. I've often questioned why my colleagues prescribe it. Some patients become habitual users in just a few weeks..."
THE SINGING SLEUTH is full of fun things such as culinary delights; an inside look at Hollywood filmmaking; a sleuth who breaks into song at every opportunity; and the romance of newlyweds. Barton's characters are well drawn and entertaining, and her plot moves along briskly.
THE SINGING SLEUTH will be great summertime reading for fans of D.B. Barton. Her mysteries are wistful and captivating.

The Singing Sleuth Crosses the Pond OverviewSome honeymoon! Alec and his new bride have just been summoned to Rome to join the Centaurus, a transatlantic cruise ship en route from the Eastern Mediterranean to Fort Lauderdale. The dead body of the ship's doctor was found in the Renaissance Art Gallery. She was not only nude, but also covered in bronze paint and strangled with picture-hanging wire. Any one of Dr. Priestley's former associates at Calliope Pictures could have "performed" the deed. The motion picture company was filming the final scenes of The Crook and the Contessa, steps away from the art gallery. Was her killer: Sydney Clayton, the movie's ego-driven director; Zita Mancini, the distressed starlet; Peter Grant, the handsome lead actor and ladies' man; Kate Street, the aging script supervisor; or Paul Valentine, the addicted prop master? Among the crew: John Morse, the ship's captain gave Priestley a wide berth; Judith Green, the physician's assistant called her a cold-blooded snake; and Benjamin Tucker, the chief of security felt anything but secure in her presence. Alec has everything he needs to solve the case-single-malt whisky, his trusty pipe, and songs from the silver screen to help him decipher clues, describe his suspects, and name the killer. Join Alec as he crosses the pond with murder on his mind and a song in his heart
