![]() The Widow’s Cruise was first published in 1959. ![]() Amidst steamy assignations, false accusations, and suicide threats, Nigel’s holiday doesn’t last long, and he must take charge to uncover the truth before the passengers have something more disturbing to gossip about… It seems everyone knows everyone else’s business: a schoolteacher recovering from a nervous breakdown is confronted by a former student a scholar is embarrassed by a scornful reviewer a seductive temptress is known to a Bishop, and, to top it off, two busybodies are keeping tabs on everyone.Īs the passengers’ lives become increasingly intertwined, it seems a plot for revenge may be afloat. Filled with Greek temples, swimming pools, and sandy beaches, this scenic vacation should be the perfect getaway. But when they meet the other passengers, Nigel and Clare realize the cruise may not be as peaceful as planned. To provide a little inspiration, Nigel Strangeways books them a relaxing cruise on the Aegean Sea. Renowned sculptor, Clare Massinger, is in a bit of a creative slump. Two sisters - Miss Ambrose, a frumpy, old maid schoolteacher (Greek Classics expert), and Melissa Blaydon, the merry widow incarnate - are the catalyst for one. “The only thing I have against cruise life,” said Clare, yawning again, “is that it’s turning us all into busybodies and gossips.” Nigel Strangeways and Clare Massinger go on a summer cruise in the Grecian isles, where jealousy and hatred shimmer over the Greek colunns, the unny quiet waters, and the donkey rides. ![]()
