Publisher's summary

Just when you thought it was safe to cruise again....

PC Rachel Prince returns to cruising after giving evidence in a difficult trial. She wants to recharge her batteries and reevaluate her future after receiving threats from the man she helped put away.

Taking Queen cruises up on their offer of a free luxury cruise aboard the Coral Queen, she opts for a sailing to New York.

Rachel's best friend and cruise nurse, Sarah is also returning to the ship to start a new nine-month contract so the timing is perfect.
Almost immediately, Rachel meets a cruise tour leader who invites her to join him and his Russian group for some of their planned activities. These activities should help pass the time during the sea days.

A crew member is found dead in his cabin - could this be another mystery brewing? Rachel's eagle eye spots some curious goings on among the Russian tour group that she finds enticing. Chief Security Officer Waverley wants Rachel to leave things alone - will she listen?

Sarah has problems of her own as conflict develops in the medical team when a new nurse is brought in at short notice.

Rachel can't resist doing a bit of snooping, but will she get to the bottom of a mysterious death and untangle this complex case before they reach New York?

Book 2


I enjoyed the first book and so I downloaded the second book in the series.
It's a sweet and cozy mystery, with suspense and drama. Something for everyone.

2nd bk also good. Will go for #3

I enjoyed this book almost as much as book though, oddly, the narrator did not work for me this time as well as s/he did for book 1. Accents felt a little less accurate, and the overall voicing was... thicker? Can’t figure out how to describe it. Not awful, just not as good as I’d enjoyed in the previous book.

The story was interesting, easy to follow, and kept me engaged even while having a very worrisome day waiting to see if I have covid!

Fun cruise!

I genuinely like Rachael but this time I got frustrated with her because she knowingly conned Sarah into getting involved therefore putting Sara's job on the line.. You really get to know and love these characters!

Rachel is cruising again

Rachel joins her friend Sarah on another cruise. A passenger is murdered and Rachel just can't help snooping around looking for clues. A delightful story with twists and turns keeping you engaged until you find out who actually did it.

An entertaining read

My second book by the author, it was much more fun than the first as I knew the characters by now, and I knew solving the murder was what Rachel did best. When a Russian crew member was found dead, it got her brain cells thinking.
The story had layers to it as quite a bit of conflicts do occur on the ship.
I had got used to narrator by now, and found myself enjoying the listen more than book 1.

A nice enjoyable mystery

This is my second book in the series and I really am enjoying the series. I love that it feature a young women who is not perfect. She is a little scared but still does what she feels is right. The secondary characters are becoming more substantial and I’m eager to start Book 3.

Lots of fun!!!

This was such a fun story! The characters were very likable and the setting aboard the cruise ship was just the escapism I needed right now. I was kept guessing til the very end. The narrator did a great job and pulled me right into the story. Looking forward to listening to more in this series!
