ABOUT THE BOOK
Newly widowed Charlotte McLaughlin is adrift following the sudden death of her husband of twenty years and the shocking discovery of the lavish double life he’d lived while purportedly traveling for business.
What better way to get closer with her family and banish the memories Charlotte can’t bear to touch now?
But the bride is found dead less than twenty-four hours after departure, and the head of security holds the groom on suspicion of her murder. Charlotte and Jane must figure out who is responsible for the murder before their nephew goes to jail for a crime they’re adamant he couldn’t have committed. Then a second victim is discovered, and Charlotte becomes even more certain there’s a killer on the guest list.
REVIEW
Charlotte and Jane embark on this voyage with mixed feelings - especially Charlotte, who now knows her husband bought the suite for him and his floozy - who wants the suite for herself. Similarly, though they love their nephew, they both have mixed feelings about his bride-to-be, and some of the other guests. When the bride-to-be is killed, Charlotte and Jane begin sleuthing, often butting heads with the cruiseline security team.
The story is filled with conflict and tension even before the first murder. The cast of characters include a range of personalities, all well-developed. The plot and tensions are well paced with some humorous spots as Charlotte gets used to having a butler and other amenities on board. This is the first in the cruising sisters and a great start to a fun cozy mystery series.
