Usborne Mysteries at Sea: The Royal Jewel Plot Kinderboeken

Well paced and tightly plotted, with a tang of Agatha Christie, this Mysteries at Sea instalment follows Alice and Sonny as they investigate a stolen jewel aboard the luxurious Lady Rose. Onboard is the King of England, and a precious opal sits protected by a poisonous octopus until both disappear. The mystery unfolds as the ship sails toward its destination, with secrets lurking among every passenger. A.M. Howell delivers a contemporary nautical thriller that blends peril, adventure and clever diagnostics as the clues tighten around the crew and guests alike.

Alice and Sonny’s investigation grows more intriguing as hidden motives emerge and loyalties shift. The setting—a yacht at sea—amplifies the tension, turning each conversation into a possible confession and each room into a potential crime scene.
