Set aboard a Mark
Twain-themed cruise on the not-so-peaceful Mississippi, Washburn's snappy second mystery
to feature literary travel agent Delilah Dickinson (after 2008's Frankly My Dear,
I'm Dead) shows how much mischief a tour group
can get into while confined to a moving paddle wheeler. When one of Delilah's charges, Ben
Webster, causes a scene in the casino, the captain calls Delilah on the carpet. Ben later
vanishes only to reappear as a corpse. Meanwhile, a charming onboard Mark Twain
impersonator, Mark Lansing, takes a shine to Delilah, but turns out to have more than one
identity to hide. And Mark isn't alone in harboring secrets, as one teary-eyed tour group
member confides that a riverboat employee was murdered precisely one year earlier on the
same tract of waterway. Delilah saves more than the day as Washburn smoothly infuses this
cozy with hints of romance and humor as well as glimpses of Twain sights in today's
Hannibal, Mo (Publishers Weekly Nov. 2009)

No one is surprised when feisty Delilah
Dickinson opens her own literary travel agency in Atlanta after her divorce. But during
her first group's tour of an old plantation modeled after Tara from Gone With the Wind,
she finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery-and everyone knows death is not so
good for business. So, with God as her witness, Delilah vows to find the killer.
With all the drama of Margaret Mitchell's
epic story suddenly coming to alarming life, Delilah's only chance to head off a
not-so-Civil War is to track down and confront the deranged murderer. But she must move
quickly and very quietly, or risk becoming the next victim of a killer-who frankly doesn't
give a damn.
