Synopsis

Meg's grandfather has been booked to give lectures on a cruise as part of the education/entertainment itinerary, and he's arranged for a passel of family members to join him. The passengers vacation quickly becomes a nightmare when they wake up to find themselves broken down and in need of repairs. Things get even worse when a crew member announces to all that a woman has jumped overboard, leaving behind her shoes, shawl, and a note. The note reveals she's a disliked member of a writers' group onboard for a retreat, and the group is split on whether this is in-character for her. The captain decides not to investigate, saying he'll notify American authorities when they reach their destination. But Meg's father decides they need to look into whether there was possible foul play while the prime suspects are all stuck on board. It'll be a race against the clock to solve this mystery before they make the necessary repairs and return to shore.

It's the first book I read in this series and won't surely be the last. I loved the likeable and well written cast of characters, the setting, and found the plot engrossing and entertaining.

Goodreads review by Kate on September 03, 2019

Oh my! I've never been on a cruise and after reading this wonderfully crafted cozy mystery, somehow I doubt I'll ever step aboard to do so. Author Donna Andrews delivers another amusing story of protagonist and professional blacksmith, Meg Langslow, and her quirky yet wonderfully creative and gifted......more

Goodreads review by Kav on June 17, 2024

I've reread...or relistened...to the whole series now and I can see me making that an annual event. I adore Meg and her zany clan and I love the way the author weaves so much humour into each story along with very clever mysteries. Plus, she has a way of pulling diverse characters together to work f......more
