Ginger and Basil Reed take the family on vacation at a seaside hotel in Brighton. While on a boat excursion with other hotel guests, a large trunk is found floating in the sea. The body of Austin Bainbridge is inside. Austin had disappeared nearly a week ago from the hotel where he and his family were staying. Who killed him and stuffed his body into the trunk? Scotland Yard asks Basil to assist the local police in investigating the murder. Ginger joins him in interviewing the many suspects.

This is one of the better mysteries in the Ginger Gold series. There were several viable suspects to weed through, along with many red herrings. I kept changing my mind about the identity of the murderer. Never did guess the correct person. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
