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

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?

Deadly Cruise

Dawn Brookes has made me a fan of Rachel Prince. I love the imagery she writes in this cozy mystery series, the twists and turns, the unexpected culprit. I love it when I do not guess the correct suspect!. Alex Lee was wonderful performing this book! I could hear exactly who was speaking. I loved how she gave the various characters distinguishable voices and accents. The book is both part of a series and a standalone listen. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator.

A fine read!

Excellent! Beginning with unusual problem in her normal job in law enforcement, moving to what should have been a relaxing cruise ship Atlantic crossing with her good friend Sarah (even though Sarah is one of the nurses on duty), Rachel finds herself an unofficial investigator into several murders and attempted murder once again. Great buildup of suspense, plot twists, and red herrings make this a really great read!
Once again Alex Lee gives a fine audio performance!

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!

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.

Deadly Cruise

The audiobook is as entertaining and suspenseful as the first book in the series. I am looking forward to the next audio book
