First CeeCee James book I have read and it won't be my last. Elsie has great instincts and hunches which coupled with her ability to observe details and body language makes for a great who done it mystery solver. This tale takes place on a cruise ship vacation compliments of Elsie s best friend Vi.  The cast of characters adds depth and interest to this adventure.

Millie Sanders assistant cruise director on the "Siren of the Sea" cruise ship  as usual finds herself and friends investigating a murder.  This time the Electrician, Luigi was murdered and cruise director Andy was a suspect.  While trying to help him lots of other things happen.  A book to read with no bad language. Another good book!

The search for the solution to the possible murder of a famous typeface designer is just great. I like the chosen name for the woman Eleanor Rigby, you can't help thinking that John Dunning had lots of fun writing this mystery. This is the second time that I have read this book in 2 years. Great, I have read all the Janeway mysteries and this is possibly the best. I just wish that Dunning would write some more of the Janeway series as I miss him.

I enjoy this author a lot. This is another fun read. There is a lot going on in all of his books. The focus on cruise ships and terrorists was enjoyable, especially since I've been on over 30 cruises and have thought about something happening at sea.
The MMA. fighting adds depth to the character and his crew, and the tie in of Las Vegas is fun, since I live there now. Another great read. I want more.

The Indonesian islands sure is a big place and this story takes you a cross a wide chunk of it and all the different places and peoples.  I really like the travel being by catamaran which gave it a real sense of the water vastness of the archipelago. It starts off like an intriguing murder mystery and then really takes off as the plot starts to unfold.  Its denouncement was very satisfying.  As usual the action was very well done and so varied with the cannibals and terrorists.  It was also so very credible despite some of their wilder exploits.  Could have had more of Alex in the book but this was more than compensated by having the ex Texas Hells Angeles fully in the story in the book earlier on. Always great to see them.  The romance stuff was fun and I definitely liked the Dutch nurses.  The addition of a pair of baby orangutans with Alice having ginger hair just added to the fun and feel good factor.

I really enjoyed this book. Look forward to reading more of the series.  It is so nice to read a nice clean mystery that has lots of suspense and keeps you trying to figure it out all the way to the end. So many of the mysteries that I read have a good story line but too much sex and foul language. Thank you for writing mysteries appropriate for Christian readers.

Loved reading about the fabulous family 2 week vacation on an incredible ship.  The family dynamics was always very intriguing.  Full of very happy and sad occasions.  Had no trouble reading it in a couple of days.

Many levels of mystery will keep you guessing.  Well written and most accurate about sailing.  Really made me want to get back on a sailboat and head for blue water.

Diane Rapp grabs our attention right off with the Jonestown Massacre that left 900 bodies. Then, with some narrative legerdemain, she brings us on board a cruise ship hosting a reunion of twins separated at birth and rejoined through DNA testing. How this connects with those 900 bodies is any reader's guess--and readers will keep guessing as the cozier floating mystery becomes layered with menace and dread. Possibly, one or more survivors of the massacre are also on board--with their own agendas.

Previous fans of Diane Rapp know that she writes cruise-bound mysteries like nobody's business. You're made to feel that you're on board and stopping at each port of call with the wealthy and beautiful people. The author's place descriptions put us there within a paragraph.
This standalone entry in the series is ideal for new readers because Kayla, the usual star, is off-duty: newly married and pregnant. And her charismatic psychic co-star, Natalia, takes over with her lover Jason.

It's always fun to watch a clever pro inject new life into a series--and sweep us all off our feet.

Highly recommended.

What a fun read - all compacted into a short story.  WOW.  I've had the Kate mysteries on my TBR list for a while - but haven't actually read any yet.  You can be sure I am now about to rectify that omission.  This mystery was satisying and complicated and yet all solved in the time it took to vacaction on a cruise ship.  Way to go.  Lots of action and mystery solving in such a short time.  I would definitely recommend this book to mystery readers.

This mystery is set in Granite Cove-- a small New England coastal town. You really can't beat that.  I loved this book.  The storyline and characters grabbed my attention.  There were plenty of suspects and quirky characters.  It was not obvious who the killer was from the start. Can't wait for another book in this series.

A travel journalist deals with the emotional fallout of a traumatic event in her personal life while on her latest assignment on a luxury cruise ship. Just as she tries to pull herself together, she witnesses what she believes is a murderexcept no one on the ship is missing. She will have to prove to everyoneincluding herselfthat despite recent troubling events her journalistic instincts are still as sharp as ever to prove that someone died. Author Ruth Ware takes readers on a wild, fun ride in the murder mystery The Woman in Cabin 10.

Laura Lo Blacklock cant believe shes landed her latest assignment. Richard Bullmer, British business tycoon, has launched a new concept in cruise ship traveling. Its the ultimate in luxury cruising with less than a dozen cabins on board and every indulgence a person of wealth and power could possibly desire. Bullmer has invited a few choice guests and members of the media to cover the maiden voyage on the Aurora, and Lo gets to stay in one of the plush cabins while spending a week hobnobbing with some of Englands elite and sailing through the Norwegian fjords to observe the Northern Lights.

Days before she sets foot on board, however, Lo experiences a traumatizing event. She barely has time to recover before getting on the ship and trying to impress Bullmer and the other passengers. The details of the event haunt her, but she tries to concentrate on the opportunity to mingle with other journalists and Englands rich and powerful.

A chance encounter with the woman in the cabin next to hers turns into more than a casual meeting when Lo witnesses what she thinks is a murder. When Lo tries to bring the attention to the ships security and other crew members, though, they discover that everyone is accounted for. No one is missing. Lo begins to question herself, but her instincts won't let it go. Something serious took place, and even with her own misgivings and issues she won't stop until she figures out just who died.

Author Ruth Ware takes her readers through the paces of a good old-fashioned murder mystery. She offers what the genre does best: a protagonist with deep flaws. Misdirection. Red herrings relevant to the story. A list of suspects each more unreliable than the last. And enough conflict and tension to keep readers swiping or flipping pages in an eager bid to find out whats really happening.

Protagonist Lo does suffer from some annoying traits. She keeps turning to alcohol to solve her problems and her deep insecurity might make readers wonder how she manages to get out of bed in the morning, never mind hold down a steady job or pursue a relationship. Ware also leaves a few minor questions unanswered. Some readers may appreciate this cloudiness in the story; others might want to know everything by books end.

By the same token that Los alcoholism impairs her judgment, it also offers Ware the opportunity to sow doubt in Los trustworthiness. Can Lo count on herself? Can readers count on her? Ware keeps readers guessing to the very end about the identity of the victim and the series of events leading to her death, and she doesnt let up on the tension even with just pages to go until the end. Its a rollicking fun ride that will make readers want to go back to the front of the book as soon as they reach the end of it.

I found this novel at my local book store as a free copy, reading the back of the book it seemed like a fun mystery novel with
a good plot and characters. I found the book to be a very interesting read and full of twists and turns as bumpy as the sailing vessel the
story took place on.  The heroine of the book was a believable and smart female detective with skills of a master deck hand,as she sails on the
the boat called  Maine Wind.  I enjoyed the plot and the other characters in the story, I loved the way the author described the ocean and the weather in the novel as it pertained to the story and what was to come. Great setting and style of writing, the only reason I didn't give it five stars, (and I don't want to give away any part of the book)  I was a little disappointed with the wrap up at the end of the story but it might be a clue for another novel. Other then that the author made me feel like I was sailing on the ocean in Maine ...

This book was a great mystery I couldn't solve until the end. I have finished reading it and I am very happy with this book.
This book didn't let you settle down. There were unpredictable twists and turns. I would recommend this book to mystery lovers as well as Star Trek the Next Generation fans.
