Publisher's summary

Delve into the uncharted course of being an older woman on the open sea with Deana, a sixty-year-old, recently-retired adventurer whose new role as a paid travel companion embroils her in an art theft and murder aboard a cruise ship.

Like many women entering the second half of their life, Deana's journey has been marked with personal pain—sexual abuse, workplace harassment, and marital infidelity. Now newly retired, newly single, and wholly ready to start living her life, she is finally able to pursue a lifelong passion: traveling the world. However, no degree of client screening could prepare Deana for the deadly challenges she encounters on a cruise to Curaçao. Soon, someone on board turns up dead amid efforts to reclaim a valuable, once-thought-missing Vincent Van Gogh painting. Deana wades through dangerous territory that brings into focus the rite of passage for the mature woman as she tries to find the truth and right a wrong. Deana embarks on the cruise for a new start but ends up on a quest to find meaning and worth as she enters the later years of her life.

Murder & Serenity shows that women of any age have a capacity for empowerment. Female Boomer generation listeners will revel in references to 1970s and & 1980s pop culture, as well as horror stories about online dating in your fifties and sixties. Joan's witty and wry sense of humor complements this otherwise intense story of family loyalty, deceit, and murder.
