Book blurb:
“Looking for a good clean murder mystery?
Meet Rachel Prince, a newly qualified police constable trying to hold it together after being ditched by her fiancé.
Rachel’s best friend, Sarah, suggests that she needs a break and what better way to relax than a Mediterranean cruise? Sarah works as a nurse on the cruise ship and they plan to enjoy all the luxuries of cruising. At least they would do if Sarah ever got any time away from the medical centre.
Rachel makes friends with a bereaved, elderly woman and an attractive Italian but it’s not long before she is convinced that something sinister is going on. There is mystery and threat surrounding Lady Marjorie Snellthorpe.
Who is the secretive Carlos and what is he up to?
Rachel finds herself in the centre of a mystery that could cost her her life, or worse still, her heart.
Has her broken engagement clouded her judgement?
Events unfold that cause her to question her sanity and when one of the passengers meets with a tragic accident, the tension grows. Rachel tries her best to relax and enjoy her holiday with her friend, but there seems to be danger around every corner. Is Marjorie in danger? Can Rachel solve the mystery even when she is in danger herself?”
My thoughts:
Take a classic feeling mystery,mix in a cocktail and you have this fantastic story.
I loved the windswept and interesting locations we visited in this adventure, never sure if the people you met were really who they said they were.
The lead characters Rachel and Sarah, two old friends, I enjoyed how a cruise ship and a murder can’t come between friends
I enjoyed the exoticness of the locations , while I listened I could picture the scenes, always a sign of a well thought out book, I enjoyed the other major and minor characters
as I said a great twist on a classic who dunnit I would love there to be more of these types of stories, if anyone knows any let me know.
The narrator for this joyous cruise was Alex Lee and she does an excellent job of telling the story and making the characters come to life.
If you want a murder mystery with an exotic twist then I definitely recommend this.
