Soon after the gardener digs up a skull buried in the yard of a lakefront mansion in Grosse Pointe the police soon find that the murder that took place over forty years ago was the first on many. All the murders seem to be tied to the pointe system, the process used until the late 1960s to exclude unwanted people from Grosse Pointe.

​
What took place on the first world cruise on RMS Carinthia in 1925-26 that has remained a secret for so long? Authorities have hidden the identity of the wealthy murderer for nearly 100 years. Why?
Wealthy, kind, generous, and handsome, are words used to describe the killer by his fellow passengers. How could such dark secrets about a murderer be kept from everyone on board, including the woman he fell in love with and married while traveling around the world on the Carinthia?

Who is the murderer? Is it one of the passengers at Table 29?

Comments from Reviews

I loved the breadth and variety of characters as well as the setting. The innovative method required to solve the murder was well done.

-
My husband and I both enjoyed this suspenseful murder mystery! We would try to out-guess each other as to who the murderer was.
-
Table 29 was a very well thought out mystery. It left me wondering who the murderer was and I was quite surprised. I liked the setting being on an ocean liner and the mystery of where the destination would finally be.
