No spine crease.. 251 pages. A Morgan Taylor Mystery, No. 2. Murder on the high seas is not the ‘gig’ actress Morgan Taylor signed up for. She was stoically suffering through one of Chicago’s coldest winters when her old theater friend called begging Morgan to fill in for a cast member aboard a cruise ship. Morgan weighs her choices: Let's see -- blinding blizzards and bitter cold, or palm trees and sun-drenched sand? Hmmmmm. Morgan hops the next plane to the Port of Miami.Onboard ship, Morgan learns the girl she's replacing died 'suddenly'. "Murdered," whisper some. And between rehearsals, wardrobe fittings and performances, Morgan feels her own safety threatened. Not everyone, it seems, is happy she joined the cast. Then another performer goes missing and this time there is no question the girl was murdered.
