About this listen

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?

This is an ideal book for lovers of cosy crime mysteries. It is easy to listen to, with a simple storyline and only a few main characters.
The action takes place a cruise liner bound for the Mediterranean. The main character is Rachel, a newly appointed female police constable, who is taking a holiday following a failed relationship. Whilst on board, she befriends an old lady, and soon begins to suspect the old lady is in danger. There follows a series of suspicious events, culminating in a murder.
With the help of her old friend Sarah, who is working on board as a nurse, Rachel sets about solving the crime, ultimately placing herself in danger.
Not a fast paced page turner, but an enjoyable listen.

There are lots of twists and turns, as well as suspects in this entertaining murder mystery. The plot goes along at a good pace and most of the characters are likeable. There is a romance element thrown in for good measure. The author did well at keeping up the mystery element in the story. I felt the narrator did well with the character voices and story and the production quality was good. I would read/listen to another book by this author and do recommend it to anyone who enjoys cosy mysteries.

I listened to this speed of 2. The characters were likeable, the plot easy to follow and as expected but it was a really good listen and it has everything you would expect from this type of genre. Not taxing and easy to follow the plot and I would recommend this and look forward to the next in the series.

Cosy and enjoyable

This is a well written, artfully crafted and beautifully narrated mystery novel. The central characters, Rachael, a newbie cop on a vacation and Sarah, the ships nurse, are well rounded and very personable. The plot with its twists, turns and dead ends moves along at just the right pace. I was thuroughly entertained from start to finish.
