The 20th book in the "Inspector Alleyn" series.

A serial killer, dubbed "the flower killer" by the press, has been murdering women, leaving flowers on their bodies. There's reason to believe that the killer is one of a small group of passengers on a freighter sailing from England to South Africa, and Alleyn joins the ship as one of the passengers to try to find the killer before he can strike again.

A very good book, with an interesting cast of characters. As always with Marsh's books, it's not really the crime that holds the interest in the book, but the characters, and this one is very well done. I certainly didn't guess the outcome. Recommended.

On next to "The Dead of Jericho", the 5th book in Colin Dexter's "Inspector Morse" series.
