Featuring Murder on the Aerial Express by M. K. Rumsey

You had me at “Agatha Christie goes Steampunk.”

If you love a good mystery with sharp dialogue, romantic tension, and high-stakes drama aboard a flying airship, Murder on the Aerial Express needs to be on your radar. What starts as a routine journey soon turns deadly when the airship’s owner is found dead on the very first night. Now, everyone on board is a suspect.

Lady Isabelle isn’t looking for trouble, but trouble finds her anyway. She’s smart, skeptical, and completely unqualified to solve a murder. That doesn’t stop her from trying. As the hours pass and the tension on board rises, Isabelle finds herself pulled deeper into a mystery that’s as charming as it is dangerous. It’s witty, suspenseful, and full of characters you’ll want to side-eye.

But this isn’t just a great story. Murder on the Aerial Express is also a fresh take on how we experience fiction in the digital age.
