Today is my turn to spotlight on the Peril on the Atlantic by A. M. Howell on her blog tour.

Peril on the Atlantic is a Mysteries at Sea adventure set in July 1936 just as the Queen Mary sets sail across the Atlantic. The main character Alice can’t wait for the summer of adventure that lies ahead. She’s excited to explore the huge ship, with its shops, animals and even celebrities on board. The cover illustration is by Marco Guadalupi.

When Alice’s sailor father focuses on winning a prestigious race, she witnesses a shocking attack. Alice and her new friend Sonny start to uncover a dark plot to sabotage the race, and as they investigate gold bars, anonymous notes and lost silk gloves, secrets in their own lives come to the surface.

While fog threatens the ship’s journey, and dangerous enemies show themselves, Alice and Sonny are in their own race to solve all the mysteries unfolding. But what they discover might change both their lives forever.
