Dilly喜歡那種非常精彩的謀殺案,當然不是說真的謀殺,而是那種會在小說裡出現的謀殺案。她最喜歡的偵探就是福爾摩斯,甚至以福爾摩斯的夥伴華生來為自己的狗狗取名。Dilly訓練狗狗華生嗅出線索,追尋蹤跡的能力,而狗狗華生也為了得到首餅乾的獎勵,而對偵探遊戲樂在其中。雖然到目前為止,她跟華生目前破獲的案件並不多,頂多就是走失的貓咪和消失不見的餅乾(純粹是被吃掉了)……可這回,偵探一人一狗組,發現她們在一艘開往倫敦的遠洋豪華郵輪上,船上有一千名乘客,四周是一望無盡的大海,而這可是謀殺案的絕佳地點,或許甚至有可能發展成連續謀殺案件⋯⋯

Or two. Or three. Or four. Or MORE!
