Beauty Queens and Cruises

A Humorous Cruise Ship Cozy Mystery

By: A.R. Winters

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What’s worse than a self-centered beauty queen? A cruise chock full of them!

“Winters will have you giggling into your book!”

But what if the self-centred beauty queen is also a murderer? When the Swan of the Seas hosts a beauty pageant, Adrienne is forced to spend her time dealing with narcissistic judges, oblivious contestants and a feminist protest. The event seems hectic enough, when Diana Penn, the esteemed beauty queen and headlining judge, is found murdered! Now, it’s up to Adrienne and her friends Cece, Sam, and First Officer Hot Stuff—er, First Officer Ethan Lee—to sort through the secrets and lies and uncover the truth hiding behind those pristine smiles.

Praise for A.R. Winters:

"The perfect balance of being lighthearted, but still a serious page-turning mystery." - Jaycie D, Amazon.com "A fun cozy mystery with engaging and entertaining characters" - lq, Amazon.com "For fans of Janet Evanovich, Rhys Bowen and Jana DeLeon, this is a funny, clean mystery." - Clara B, Amazon.com Beauty Queens and Cruises is the fourth book in the Cruise Ship Cozy Mystery Series. Though it can be read as a standalone, it's best read in series order. This is a light-hearted story featuring a strong female protagonist, some unusual friends and co-workers, and a mystery that needs solving! It has no graphic gore, bad language or sex.

Many Motives for Murder

Fun behind-the-scenes glimpses at the world of beauty pageants. Very tongue-in-cheek with distinctive characters, motivations, and possible motives for murder.

The virtual narrator was excruciating

The story was pretty good and not too easy to solve but I could not stand to listen to the narration. I suggest reading the book in print.
