An Evening of Murder: The Eternal Cruise

One in the series of "Max Haines Invites You To An Evening of Murder (tm)" party games. Plays like the "How to Host a Murder" series. This particular edition is The Eternal Cruise. From the invitations...

Crime Scene: Captain Scott Emery is missing at sea. He disappeared late last evening while inspecting his ship, the Moonlight Princess, on a cruise from Vancouver to Alaska. A search was organized. His cap was discovered on the upper deck amid scattered chairs and signs of a struggle. No other traces of the captain were found. It is obvious he met with foul play.

The Suspects:

Tobie Corbett. A personal guest of the captain. She's very quiet and prefers a good novel to the lively entertainment of the cruise.

Tanya Corbett. Tobie's twin sister and traveling companion. She is more outgoing and enjoys life to the fullest.

J.D. Nast. A wealthy oil tycoon. A big and boisterous man who loves a good cigar and a good time.

Mary-Lou Nash. A 'Southern Belle' vacationing with her husband. She's always looking for new and exciting adventures.

Falcon Marlowe. A little fellow on leave from the British Embassy. Sailing isn't really is cup of tea... pity.

Tim Sawyer. First Mate - an officer and a gentleman. He's tall, handsome and always under control.

Rita Fendley. As the ship's cruise director, she keeps the passengers in good humor with a busy itinerary.

Steve Walker. A free-lance photographer on assignment. An unfriendly type, strictly on board to work.
