Kerry Greenwood's Death by Water
This Phryne Fisher book finds Phryne on a luxury ocean liner to try and find a jewel thief. There's also a whole lot about Maori culture, which I actually appreciated, though sometimes I wonder if the casual racism (calling them noble savages and whatnot) is meant to be historically accurate, or if the books are just casually racist. I'm PRETTY sure it's just historical accuracy. Though Phryne dressing for a costume party as a Chinese girl doesn't really help any. B/B+.
