Description
A scientist nobody liked has been murdered on the Arctic ice . . .
Meet the Blanchard twins:
Rose is practical, sharp, and protective. Specialty: manta rays.
Finn is too sweet and kind for his own good. Specialty: sharks.
Rose and Finn are looking for sharks on the sea bed. When they return to the Dauphin they make a terrible discovery: their colleague has been murdered on the ice –with a harpoon that should never have been there. Everyone else on the luxury cruise ship – the wealthy passengers, the researchers hard at work, the tight-knit crew and their strangely calm Captain – were all aboard at the time, so they are all under suspicion. Rose and Finn were the only two at sea, and they're miles from anywhere, so it's up to them to investigate.
On scientific problems, they are a brilliant team – but can the Blanchard twins solve a murder?

A very good spin on a classic whodunit.
Think Christie but funnier, with more heart. The characters are crazy but relatable, and in the middle of Arctic!
I love a cosy murder mystery and this was one of the best.

Delicious…
A murder on ice in the Arctic, sharks on the seabed, the brilliant Blanchards. The Blanchard twins may well be superior scientists but can they put their brilliant minds together to solve a murder? Everyone on the luxury cruise ship is a suspect, the twins were at sea and, so, it’s up to them to investigate. A wholly engaging and beautifully written mystery with a well imagined setting, a delightfully eclectic cast of characters populating a classic plot and a wonderfully eccentric pair of protagonists. This reader hopes for more to come from this delectable duo. Delicious.

A nice crime romp for fans of cosy crime that kept me guessing right to the end. Plenty of twists and just enough detail for it not to be too much, but which linked nicely into the plot. I particularly enjoyed the diversity of the characters - it was done in a way which didn’t feel tokenistic like some books can do.
