* LetOffByTheDetective: Monk and Natalie decide to let the four women go un-prosecuted as long as they agree to abandon their murder plot against Darby [=McGinnis=]. It becomes a problem because Mrs. Sheffield, who hired Monk and Natalie to get to the bottom of the mysterious accidents on board, isn't happy with the vague statements Natalie can give her about that part of the investigation.
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident:
** Captain Sheffield bludgeons Mariah and then puts her on the anchor chain so that it will look like she slipped and fell overboard rather than being murdered. He tries the same thing with Monk at the end of the book.
** The four women trying to get revenge on Darby [=McGinnis=] cause a number of "accidents" around the ship, hoping one of them will kill him. Natalie scolds them for this, pointing out that a whole lot of innocent people could have gotten hurt in the process.
