While her bookstore, Haven't Got a Clue, is rebuilt following a devastating fire, Tricia Miles and her sister, Angelica, decide to book a cruise for some much needed R&R. Naturally they choose a Mystery Lovers cruise, where they can ponder whodunnit in deck chairs while sipping colorful drinks and soaking up some rays.

But the fun is cut short when a fellow passenger is murdered for real. Is the killer a famous mystery author, one of his fans, or a member of the ship's crew? As Tricia tries to find the killer before they reach port, she may be cruising for a bruising...

I have every one of these in the series. Just when I thought her ideas were dried up, one (or two or three) future plot ideas developed on the cruise. What will happen next? Hmm! I can scarcely wait to read it!

Looks like a sequel is in order

The storyline of this book was okay. Nothing great or exciting. Usually a cozy type of mystery is something I enjoy but something just didn't work with this one. The narrator made this very hard to listen to. I thought something was wrong with the audible player on my phone or my phone settings themselves when she first began to read the book. Her speech and method of reading is disturbing. The reader pauses often during mid sentence in halting steps. I thought it seemed as if she had lost her place in the reading. I did not enjoy it.

Made myself finish it.

Narrator sounds bored. I would have liked her to have a little more enthusiasm as she read the story.

I enjoyed this title and the fact the story took place away from the town, but would have enjoyed a more "fleshed-out" portion of the section I identified as the "spoiler". The ending indicates there is more to that storyline so I am looking forward to the next installment in this series!

Enjoyed This Title - A Bit More of the "Spoiler"

I have listened to the ENTIRE series 5 times and I love it more eachtime. This volume didn't disappoint! I love all the characters and the narrator's voice is perfect for this series. Going by the sounds of the ending there's still more to come...Woohoo Lorna Barrett😀😀😀

Addictive!!

This is a very good book. I enjoy watching the sisterly bond between Tricia and Angelica grow and deepen. As always, the story is well written and flows nicely. Tricia's parents make an appearance in this book and I look forward to seeing how this plays out in future books.

One of my favorite series

I enjoy reading cozy mysteries during my downtime. This is a series that I've come to enjoy with the cast of characters who I feel as though I know. While the murder mystery in this book is not the best one I have read in the series, readers will not be disappointed. For anyone who was surprised at the ending of one of the earlier books of Trisha's ex-husband being killed will especially appreciate the ending of this book.

A personal twist I did not see coming

Disappointing. I really expected more. The premise was weak. It just didn't work that a bookseller would care about a rude, obnoxious author to endanger her life as well as the safety of her friends and family to discover her murderer. I wanted to see more romance and a more realistic reason for the protagonist to actively engage in the resolution of a murder. The most interesting part was the parental conflict and cliffhanger.

I've listened to every book in this series & in each review I always mention what an insufferable, grumpy, wet blanket Tricia is. Angelica is the star of this series & is so lovable. She, along with the other supporting characters are what kept me coming back. But now, FINALLY, we get to learn about Tricia's relationship with her mother & events which occurred that made Tricia how she is. It all makes sense now! I'm glad that the pieces of the puzzle got clarified, and as the reader we got to poke behind the curtain to get deeper into the story. I love the slow transformation of Tricia that we begin to see.. She loosens up, starts to enjoy life & I'm excited to see how this change takes shape in the upcoming book.

The mystery & story line itself is wonderful, as usual. Each of these books have so many different small plot pieces running along side the main murder mystery. Does Tricia have a secret admirer? Was Mary sabotaged in the competition? Who will take over EM's empire? What will happen with Tricia & her family? If you can, I recommend listening to these in order to get the whole experience. Overall, i loved this installment & the ending was just as fulfilling/suspenseful as always. This was probably my favorite book in the series in terms of character development & a strong storyline!

Lorna delivers again!
